National Day of Prayer May 3, 2012
The Kiwanis Club of Marble Falls hosted the National Day of Prayer Event along with
representatives form area churches and leaders from the community. It was a special evening of
prayer and worship last night at the First Baptist Church Pavilion at La Ventana in Marble Falls.
It was a great evening with beautiful music, the view and the evening breeze made for ideal
conditions for the event. The praise band was AWESOME! blessing the crowd with music was
Molly Marrs and Stephen Galan making a wonderful impact with their songs. Molly delivered in
her own special way a song called “Above all Else” and Stephen delivered a song he wrote called
“People of God” the songs made a difference in the event.
A big THANK YOU! to all of those who participated: Lakes Shores Church Praise Band, Ralph
Hendricks-City Manager, Johnny White-Church at Horseshoe Bay, Judy Miller-Marble
Falls/Lake LBJ Chamber, Pete Christy-Church of Horseshoe Bay, William Tumblin-Smoking for
Jesus Ministry, Jon Weems-First United Methodist Church, Mark Earwood-Faith Academy,
Gilbert Bennett-Kiwanis Club and all of the other Kiwanis members and community members
who lent a hand to make the event possible.
This will become an annual event for the Kiwanis Club at the Pavilion in La Ventana and you
will not want to miss this event next year, so mark your calendar – the first Thursday in May.
2013…also, another Big Thank You! for the People who attended the event to pray for our
Nation.

Kiwanis Club of Marble Falls Members enjoyed the lunch served by the River City Grille.
The Club recognized the EMS members of the Marble Falls EMS for National EMS Week. The
crew was present at the beginning of the meeting, they had a moment to eat a bite. Then ending
up making a run during the meal which is typical of the EMS duty.
Paul Brady, owner of River City Grille, donated (4)- $25 gift certificates ($100) to the EMS
Members present at today’s meeting. Please be sure and Thank Paul personally for his
contribution in helping make the recognition possible. At the meeting we discussed the
AutoPulse Equipment needed in the Highland Lakes Area for cardiac arrest events. This
equipment would assist the EMS members by freeing up needed manpower. This equipment
provides a mechanical advantage to CPR to maintain proper compression and blood flow to the
brain, which reduces the neurological deficits often seen in the post cardiac victim. This
equipment would take the cardiac care in our area into the 21st century by providing the best
possible care to the citizens of the community.
The Club received a $370 check from the PEC Employees for our work in the community the
funds will be used to support the Key Club.
