Children’s Bike Safety was Job #1 at the Three Rivers Kiwanis Bike Rodeoheld on Saturday, May 1st at the Milo Elementary School. Over 25 children participated in the rodeo, which included bike and rider information, helmet inspection & fitting, bike inspection & adjustments, a bike safety talk and then the bike safety road course including hand signals, turns & stops. After the completion of the course, they enjoyed a snack and entered their name for a chance on a new bike. The club gave over 20 new helmets away, of which 10 were to replace damaged or unsafe helmets. The bikes were won by Adam S. of Brownville and Lilith H. of Milo. A Fall at Any Speed Can Cause Serious Head Injuries!A bicycle helmet is headgear that is especially made to protect
your head in a fall. Bicycle helmets can reduce the risk of head injury by up to 85 percent. Most deaths related to bicycle falls
and collisions involve head injuries. This means wearing a helmet can save your life!
A fall can happen even to the most careful rider. Bicycle crashes don’t only happen in the street, they can happen in driveways, on bike paths, and on sidewalks or anywhere someone is careless. It’s as important to wear a helmet as it is to buckle up in a car!
Wear a helmet every time you ride a bike. You never know when something will happen.Source: http://www.maine.gov/dps/bhs/bicycle-safety.htmlFor more information about the Three Rivers Kiwanis visit our web site www.ThreeRiversKiwanis.org or join us at our weekly meeting every Wednesday morning at 6:30 am in Milo at the Hobnobbers located at 45 West Main Street.
The Milo Art Center was filled with Music and Entertainment
On Friday, May 7th the Three Rivers Kiwanis held their annual variety show. The annual variety show is our major fund-raiser for the RIF (Reading Is Fundamental) program in all the elementary schools, Penquis HeadStarts, and PreSchools in the SAD 41 area. On the days that we deliver the books, we also read to the children as well. It is great to see the joy and wonder on a child’s face while reading a book and let them select their own book, says President Heidi.
Many great acts performed such as: The Elementary Drama Club in a Wild West act; listen to the “Pickle Song” from Richie Russell; A hometown favorite “The Notables” performing Sandman; Magic by Zack O’Quinn; Famous Couples Sonny & Cher, Johnny & June Cash, and Elvis & Priscilla stopped by. Sue Darling played guitar and sang for us, too. The Downeast Country Music Association’s 2009 “New Country and Bluegrass Duo of the Year” New Realm; and the children of the drama club ended the show with the Goodnight Song.

Santa Project was discussed at length, and a decision was made to keep the Secret Santa Program that we had in years prior to 2009 and that Bonnie will continue to be the Chairman and final “go to person” for requests and coordination and that she will work with the Penquis Cap Program to avoid duplication and coordinate purchasing power.
Our 501C3 status is still pending; new IRS regulations are pending and holding up the process.
Upcoming Programs: May 19 and 26 – Key Club. June speaker chairmen are Jim Lord and Frank Cochrane.
Other dates to remember: June 19 the Canoe Race; June 25 and 26 the Annual Kiwanis Auction; June 27 the Cruise In. Calendar sales orders are due by June 1.
Bonnie is running a coat drive “Coats for Kids”. As we go through our closets this spring, any coats that you don’t want can be brought to a Kiwanis meeting. Bonnie will make sure they are clean and fit to be given to Milo youth next fall as needed.
Also, Bonnie is looking for donated baked goods for the Key Club bake sale at IGA on Friday May 14 at 3 PM.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:20 AM

Milo Free Public Library NewsBy Pamela Flanagan and Rochelle
Williams This has been a week of anticipation and new arrivals. The Maine School and Library Network (MSLN) in conjunction with Fairpoint is upgrading our internet connection. Jerry Cole, the library’s tech coordinator has been helping us with the project and we would like to express our thanks for making this a far smoother transition than would be otherwise possible. We don’t have a faster internet connection yet, but it’s on the way as the pre-installation of the plywood will testify, hence the anticipation. We are also looking forward to the start of this year’s summer reading program. It is our 25th anniversary of summer reading programs!
This year’s theme is ‘Make a Splash’ - Read. Thumbs up to Rochelle for working hard at getting it organized. Sign up week starts June 14-18 and the ‘Make a Splash’ program begins June 21st. Since it’s our 25th anniversary, I anticipate cake. Now for the new arrivals. Just in this week and ready to circulate are the following books: Come on in and read awhile.
