The Noon News with Nicholas Ferreri

This information from the Kiwanis group on facebook.  Kiwanis and other service organizations met with Michelle Obama who talked about the President’s call to service for the summer. How will Kiwanis participate… stay tuned.

The Okemos Kiwanis Club has pledged to match any Kiwanis member’s contribution’s (up to $500) if they call in during the Kiwanis hour Saturday, 10:00am to 11:00am.  Identify yourself as a Kiwanis member and your contribution will be doubled.

More interesting and humorous news stories and a promise of drier weather for the weekend.

Songs

Taking a little effort, Roger Grove got everyone on key, and then led the singing of “On Kiwanis” “America the Beautiful” and “Smile.”

Program

Dr. Clyde Flory introduced his speaker for the last week in May, Dr. Leonard Zuckermann.  Dr. Zuckermann is a practicing Urologist, Chief of Urology at Sparrow Hospital and serves the medical community in several other capacities.  He discussed diseases of the prostate, how they are treated and spoke in detail about robotic surgery and it’s many advantages. It  has become the preferred method for prostate surgeries.
