Plans are in the works to offer coffee and snacks for sale before the program and to seeks sponsors as we have in the past. Members need to gather between 8:00 & 8:30 AM to post banners of sponsors and distribute eggs on the ball diamonds. Last year, nearly 1000 kids scooped up 10,000 eggs in less than 5 minutes!

	Quote of the Month
	For an athlete to function properly, he must be intent. There has to be a definite purpose and goal if you are to progress. If you are not intent about what you are doing, you aren't able to resist the temptation to do something else that might be more fun at the moment.” John Wooden

Cyber Members Hit "Enter"

At the Thursday Board meeting at Prestige Senior Living voted to package the steps necessary to offer cyber memberships to community members who wish to serve their community but who have no time in their schedules to attend weekly meetings. The idea grew from info from the Kiwanis magazine about Cyber Clubs in major metropolitan areas. Like some of these suburban communities, Manteca is a bedroom community for the Livermore valley and the San Francisco. Bay Area. Manteca is also a community of individuals who work locally but whose schedules do not coincide with our club’s meeting schedule. Details to be worked out include amount and types of communication via our club web-site, possibly having some meetings in the evening for meet-and-greets so cyber-members can hobnob with noon folks and to induct new members to both the cyber-group and the noon-group. Publicity of the new program is another detail that need to be finalized. The Kiwanis Club of Manteca continues to meet the needs of the community and continues to meet the needs of the people who wish to provide that service.

	Track Meet Dates Fast Approaching May 18th and 20th
	Our club will again be working at the D-III Track & Field Championships in May scheduled for May 18 & 20 at MJC. We will again be manning the gates, selling tickets, checking in athletes, and assisting the Kiwins with Meet T-Shirt sales. Members need to arrive for the first shift at 12:30 PM with others coming on schedules throughout the meet. Shifts end at 7:00PM.
