June 3 - Assateague Room, 8 a.m.
Claude is an artificial intelligence created by Anthropic — one of the world's leading AI research companies. In this unusual presentation, Claude speaks directly to our members through a voice recording, in its own words, about what AI actually is, what it can and cannot do, and what you personally should pay attention to. No jargon. No hype. Just an honest conversation — from an AI that learned everything it knows from human beings like you. Claude will be taking questions at the end of the presentation.
June 10 - Ocean Pines Library, 8 a.m.
Nonprofit founder, blogger, and author Jackie Kurtz will deliver the keynote at our Annual Scholarship Award Meeting, sharing an inspiring message about the impact of everyday kindness and the choices that shape who we become. Drawing from her book Kindness Heroes: Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things and her work with Matt's Kindness Ripples On, Jackie highlights real-life stories of compassion creating lasting ripple effects. We have invited our 2026 Kiwanis scholarship recipients and their parents/guardians to celebrate. At the meeting will present the scholarship award certificates to Stephen Decatur students and recognize Snow Hill and Pocomoke students, who will have already received their certificates. We will also present each student with a personalized copy of Kindness Heroes — a fitting send-off as they step into this next chapter.
