After five decades of liv-
ing in Fayetteville, I never
thought I could have learned
so much and been so proud
of an organization and
project than I am of the
Fayetteville Kiwanis Club and
the celebration of their 100th
Anniversary.
Not only did I get a pro-
found community history
lesson, but I became over-
whelmed with pride at the
work ethic, dedication and
intestinal fortitude dem-
onstrated by Fayetteville's
founding leadership. Ten de-
cades of infectious and moti-
vating intentions is best described
in only two words: Do good.
Writing, producing and designing
the Fayetteville Kiwanis 100th An-
niversary Edition of Up & Coming
Weekly was an actual labor of love
not only for me but for our entire
staff. For most, it provided them
their very first insights into the
origins, vision and rich history of
our community. It created for them
a foundation of pride and a better
understanding of our community. I
think it mostly made them aware of
the immense and abundant em-
pathy, compassion, kindness and
sense of generosity that Fayetteville
residents naturally radiate out to
humanity.
Well, our newspaper realized this
twenty-five years ago and built an
entire publishing company show-
casing and accentuating Fayette-
ville's unique benevolence. A be-
nevolence we are proud of and one
we need not profit from. Our small
financial donation of proceeds from
the issue goes to the Fayetteville
Kiwanis Club to help support the
work and significant impact they
have on children in our community
through the hosting of dozens of lo-
cal programs.
I have found that two sayings have
always been accurate and have
never failed to motivate and inspire
me: One — Always do the right
things for the right reasons. Two —
KIDS NEED KIWANIS!
