The Taylorville Kiwanis Club heard from the principal at Faith Bible Christian Academy in Rosamond during their weekly meeting at the Taylorville Moose Lodge on Tuesday.
Matt Houser (right) spent over 10 years overseas on missions in 16 countries, and 6 years working at a crisis center, before coming to Rosamond and becoming principal of the Christian school there. Houser told Kiwanis members that F-B-C-A provides classes for pre-school thru 12th graders, with 134 students attending from 22 area communities. He invited Kiwanis members to an open house at the school on April 4th at 5pm.
Houser also gave a presentation on 3 Leadership Lessons, which include: Create more leaders, not followers; you ain’t got nothin’ if you ain’t got trust; and invest in children.
Kiwanis member Adam Jeffrey (left) was Tuesday's program chair.
Jeffrey also spoke about the club’s ongoing “2 for 2” membership drive. Brenda Spurling was presented a gift card for her membership efforts.
Kiwanis member and historian Dick Wamsley gave perfect attendance awards to Dean Ray for 18 years of attending Kiwanis meetings, and Chuck Martin for one year. Wamsley himself has had perfect attendance at Kiwanis meetings for some 32 years.
