Our Speaker and guests yesterday were Mike and Karen Hartman and one of their therapy dogs Harvey.

They spoke with us about the difference between a therapy animal, and emotional support animal and a service animal, as well as the work it takes to be a therapy pair (the human and animal have to be a pair)

We also learned the job of a therapy animal and how important they are to not only children but adults too!

Thank you Mike and Karen AND Harvey!

Harvey has a page and you can follow Harvey and his “adventures” Harvey's Pack

Sometimes we have to escape the office to support a good cause. If you are out about today stop by the 2800-blk Mulberry for some Lemonade and cookies. These ladies are working hard.
All proceeds go to Shop with a Cop. They are there until 1pm.

Mr. Michael Gaeta is not only a treasured member of the Muscatine Kiwanis Club but a businessman in our community. Mr. Gaeta works for Prudential Insurance located in the downtown Muscatine area.

Last week, he spoke with us about how the building collapse and the structural issues of the historic buildings down town affect not only people who lost their homes and businesses that had to close, but also businesses that are still able to run.

This week Mike talked to us about what he does, how your financial planning can affect your future and taxes!

Thank you Mike for being a dedicated Member to not only Muscatine Kiwanis Club but to our town and society and sharing your knowledge with us!

They say not all super hero’s wear capes and we were reminded of that today.

Our guest speaker was Chelsea Harms the owner of The Maynard and Cheers & Graze with Charm also spends a lot of her time volunteering in our community.

Today she spoke of Hair for Hero’s, a volunteer project she started at Jefferson Elementary. During the school year, Chelsea along with other volunteers spend their morning combing, brushing, and even braiding, both boys and girls hair. They also spend time reading jamming out to music and just having conversation.

Hair Hero’s is always looking for volunteers for at max an hour starting about 7:30 am.
Other ways you can help is by donating combs and other hair accessories (Chelsea is happy to connect with anyone to collect donations!) They also have an Amazon wishlist (we are working on getting to share)

What a great program, Thank you Chelsea!
