Convention last weekend.

Happy Dollars
Warren Mitchell had a buck for taking first place for his vintage
car at an auto show; Roger Landry for Warren Mitchell being so
excited about winning that he was able to charge him double at
NAPA; Nancy Williams for the bills in her 50/50 winnings all
going in the same direction; and Chet Cilley for "waumping"[sic]
his son in golf in North Carolina.
Guest Speaker
Pres. Warren Mitchell introduced Exec. Dir. Elizabeth Beeson,
the Circle Program, to the club. Started in 1993, the program
is for at-risk girls, aged 9-12, who are given the opportunity
to attend a 2-year program which includes a 12-day summer camp,
regular get-togethers throughout the year, and graduate service
projects. Up to 36 participants are accepted every year, mostly
from the Laconia area but with attention to other municipalities
in the area. Right now they are running a capital fund to build
their own summer camp so that they may run more than one session.
They have raised $1.3 million and have $150,000 to go to set
up their facility on Spectacle Pond in Groton. We are invited
(as with the Mayhew Project) to help them open their camp next
year. The ongoing cost of the program runs around $3000 per girl
per year. For more information go to circleprogram.gov.
