I joined the New Castle Hundred Kiwanis Club in September 1960. I attended the meeting where they had speakers but the Club did not do anything. In November, they announced that the Club would be donating Thanksgiving Baskets to families who needed a good meal for Thanksgiving. On Thanksgiving, Dick Farmer and I picked up the baskets from Miller's Market in Wilmington Manor (no relation to me). There were two baskets for each family with a turkey and canned goods. The rest of the Club members took baskets also. The first family Dick and I took the baskets to answered the door and the woman told us her husband started working this week, and he is out buying their Thanksgiving turkey, and would we deliver the baskets to another family in need. I was surprised someone would turn down the baskets. After we delivered the baskets, Dick told me to take them home and he would call the nurse at the school to see if there was another family in need. The next day, which was Thanksgiving, Dick called me and said there is a woman whose husband left her with two children and she was pregnant with their third child. No food in the house and no oil for the heater. Dick told me to take the two baskets and he would order oil for the house. She lived around the corner from my house so I delivered the baskets to her. As I was carrying the baskets to the door, the children were helping me, they were excited, and the woman said to me, "God does answer prayers". That was the day I became a Kiwanian and I still am.
