"Nobody Asked"

Nobody Asked!

Nobody asked, but I thought that I would share a piece of my mind….not that there is all that much left to share.

Nobody asked the speaker at our club to join us the following week and to become a member, so that speaker never came back.

Nobody asked the shy man who stumbled upon the lunch meeting if he would like to join us in the reading we do for Head Start each week, so he didn’t.

Nobody asked the wife of the long-time member who died recently if she would like to be a part of the organization her husband valued so highly, so she sat home alone.

Nobody asked what the new member did for a living, or how many kids she had or what she liked to do when she wasn’t volunteering or working, so she stopped coming.

Nobody asked the man who was so busy with kids, church, work, and life, if he wanted to put an umbrella over all of that and join with others who could give him some help, so he kept on doing what he was doing, and it never occurred to him that a Kiwanian might help him.

Nobody asked me, but I think we all need to remember…..JUST ASK…. That’s what it’s all about!
