Class of 2009 Cashes In
by Marie Perkins,
Organizer
Laconia Kiwanis comes to the rescue of the 8th grade graduation
class of Memorial Middle School, with a $500 donation. The 8th
graders at MMS have been struggling to raise funds for their
graduation ceremonies. They have had numerous fundraisers in
the last 4 months, which include many bake sales, selling Avon
products, selling T-Shirts, taping staff at the school to the
wall, bumper stickers for a $1.00 donation, a PACT dance, and
the latest being a huge yard sale on May 28th, in which they
are renting spaces, seeking donations, doing appraisals, and
selling food and baked goods. The goal of all these hard
working kids (and parents) is $2,000 to $3,000. With all the
help they have received from Kiwanis and the community, the class
will hopefully have met their goals after the yard sale is completed.

Guest Speakers
This writer introduced Lt. Michael Shastany and Firefighter Chuck
Campbell, Laconia Fire Dept., to the club. They were on hand
to present the portable defibrillator the Emergency Medical Technicians
use as well as the AED--Automated External Defibrillator. The
AED is set up to be used effectively by a layman with simple
instructions and voice prompts to allow analysis and treatment
of a victim. EMT Chuck Campbell pointed out that 250,000 die
each year from heart attacks. If the AED was used in each case,
$50,000 could survive. For more information go to laconiafire.org.
Lt. Mike Shastany is hooked up with sensor leads and EMT Chuck Campbell shows the paddles that deliver the electric shock.
