Guest Speaker
This writer introduced Chair David Stamps, Lakes Region Childrens'
Services, to the club. He thanked the club for our $5000 donation
last year to help subsidize the summer program. The program operates
out of five different locations, providing daycare with USDA-approved
meals and interaction with adults and other preschoolers. Charges
are on a sliding scale based on income and age of child. Summer
programs include trips to Clark's Trading Post, Storyland, Laconia
Athletic Club, and Opechee Park. Exec. Dir. Julie Farina has
been with the organization since November last and is looking
forward to possibly moving into the proposed renovated Scott
& Williams building. They would occupy 13,000 sq. ft. of
space. Half their funding for their $1 million budget comes from
parents and the balance from the state which will probably be
cutting back it's support this year. For more information go

Exec. Dir. Dianne Zawacki and Denise Davis, Teen Center, will
