Past Pres. Joe Adrignola introduced Dr. Richard Stuart, Lakes
Region Trails with Rails Exploratory Committee, to the club.
The organization's mission is to promote, design, build, and
maintain a multi-use recreation trail through the city of Laconia,
along side the active railroad bed, connecting the Laconia communities
of Weirs Beach and Lakeport with Downtown, via a safe and convenient
passageway, while providing outstanding scenic and recreation
opportunities. The 10-mile Laconia segment is expected to eventually
be joined with trails into the adjacent communities of Belmont
and Meredith and beyond. Dick Stuart also offered the remaining
50 tickets to their Sweepstakes Ball, Saturday, May 22, Winnipesaukee
Expo Center, that will be used as a fundraiser. For more information,
