That's a BIG K, Sir...
The Kiwanis International President will be making an appearance
at the K-University presentation at the Wayfarer Conference Center
in Bedford, NH on Saturday, May 20th. Any member interested in
attending, see President Joe
Collie...but be advised that the event is the same day as our
club's bike rodeo.
I'm Sorry...Who Are
You Again?
Steve Loughlin reminds all that he is again making nametags and
if you need one, let him know. Larry Murphy and Paul Cotton requested
new tags and so did Kathy for Patty Jeanne. E-mail Steve any
nametag request you may have at
steve@theloughlins.com or loughlin@laconiasavings.com Steve--please
make me one that says "El Supremo." Thanks--Joe Collie
As The Drifters Once
Sang..."On The Boardwalk..."
We're good to go on the boardwalk. Nancy Williams-Hunt attended
a recent city council meeting and the council approved our usual
vendor space on the boardwalk at Weirs Beach. Our permit runs
from Memorial Day Weekend right through the end of Bike Week.
Paul Cotton is following up with the necessary city paperwork
and licensing.
Lunch, Anyone?
Dianne Roberts informed the club that we are invited to the Community
Health and Hospice Luncheon coming up on Monday, April 17th.
It's an annual event they hold every year for their supporters.
Anyone interested needs to RSVP by
this Friday, April 7th. E-mail Dianne at droberts@metrocast.net
or droberts@lrgh.org or Joe Adrignola at jna@mlo-law.com. The
event will be held at the CH and H building on North Main Street
in Laconia.
So Moved...
The minutes of the board meeting from March 6th were approved
as read. The club approved an 8 week leave of absence for Mike
Bastraw and the meeting adjourned at 7:17pm. Nothin' to it, really....

The 50/50 was won three ways by Roger Landry, Warren Mitchell,
and Jeff Stone. They took home $19, but gave four happy dollars
to simplify the math.
Cash brings a smile to everyone's face.

Happy Dollars
Roger Landry, Warren Mitchell, and Jeff Stone gave $4 for winning
the 50/50 and Ed Merski gave a buck for being employed at the
Lake View Golf Course, where he is also the assistant pro. Now,
that's a hole-in-one!
