He'd Give You the Shirt
Off His Back...
Roger Landry informed the club that he still has a shirt left--XL
with no name on the sleeve. He also reminded the club that if
you haven't picked up your shirt or paid for it, please do. President
Joe Collie had this to say about the shirts "I get up at
4:30 in the morning and having a Kiwanis shirt is one less decision
I have to make on a Monday morning. Thanks, Roger!"
Roger Landry has an XL up for grabs.

Hey Kiwanis...THANKS!
We received two thank-you notes. One from the Laconia Teen Center
for the donation of the hot dog machine on February 21. They
noted after some cleaning it should be good to go. We also received
a thank-you from the Portsmouth Children's Museum for our financial
contribution to their Museum to You project.
So Noted...
Sec.'y Kathy Calvin noted that an ad in the newspaper recently
pointed to story time at the "Kiwanis Children's Room of
the Laconia Public Library." The club appreciates the recognition.
Bored Meeting...Oh,
wait...BOARD Meeting
Sec.'y Kathy Calvin read the minutes from the boards meeting
of February 6th. The club approved $100 to the Kiwanis Foundation
of New England...again. Also, the board approved $100 to the
Laconia High School Band Boosters for the Comedy Night fundraiser,
$250 to Laconia Little League from the Boys and Girls Committee,
and $250 for the Portsmouth Children's Museum's Museum to You
Project. Also, a leave-of-absence was approved for Charlie St.
Clair. Sec.'y Kathy also read the minutes from the meeting of
February 21st. The financial report for December was read and
approved. Minutes from both meeting accepted as read.

50/50 Winner
Warren Mitchell, Russ Beane, and Roger Landry split $18 dollars.
Do the math.
Fines
Roger Landry, Warren Mitchell, Chet Cilley, and Paul Cotton were
pinless. Phil Bonafide was late and paid a fine of $.26. (That
should delay the next financial report.)
Happy Dollars
Warren Mitchell, Russ Beane, and Roger Landry gave $3 three ways.
Do the math. Larry Murphy gave a dollar for getting a bonus at
work and Ed Merski gave a dollar because he is now unemployed.
President Joe Collie suggested Ed hold on to that buck as he
may need it.

From Sr. Member Ed Chertok
Good to hear from you. I encourage you to go and attend the convention
in Montreal. I am not sure that Polly can take the necessary
walking around to the underground and from the station to convention
headquarters that is a big (and I mean big) building with lots
of walking inside. Probably much too much for her. Are the motorcycle
ticket sales keeping up to, behind, or ahead of previous years?
Weather here is good. Stupidly, I got one shoe caught in a hose
while washing my golf shoes after a super round, had putted into
the cup twice while off the green. Had won ten cents, when spike
caught, lost my balance, hit the pavement with left hand extended
to break the fall. Result: skinned knee, elbow and shoulder,
with two fractured fingers. No golf for a minimum of three weeks.
So it goes. I won't make the tour this year. Take care &
my greetings to all the Laconia Kiwanians.
From Sr. Member Roger Webster
Hi, Guys: I notice that Joe A. is sitting by himself as he again
wins the lottery. That seems to be saying something, "where
are my friends?" The Mesa Police seem to have caught the
man behind the killing of the five people next door.
