Installation 2003
V.P. Warren Mitchell reports we have around 70 signed up for
the Installation Dinner which will be held on Monday, September
29, 6p, at Pheasant Ridge Country Club. Division 6 Lt. Gov.-Elect
Dan Witham will be in attendance for the ceremonies. The Boards
has approved member reimbursement for the cost of the event if
a guest joins the club. He suggests that not only should members
plan on wearing their name tags but guests should be provided
with same. Also, an effort should be made to have our members
sit with guests. There will be no entertainment so it should
be a short evening. This is also a good opportunity to bring
in prospective members.
We're Awarded
Immediate Past Lt. Gov. Ken Georgevits presented several awards--Immediate
Past Pres. Phil Bonafide: Distinguished Club Award; Past Pres.
Michael Bastraw, Governor's Public Relation Award; Sec.'y Kathy

Guest Speaker
Past Pres. Jim Fortier introduced Jim Carroll, Keeping the Light
On, to the club. The fundraiser is for improvements to the Laconia
Veterans Memorial including landscaping, walkways, watering system,
benches, reflecting pool, and lighting. The park dedication is
planned for Memorial Day next. They are soliciting donations
from groups (they've received $25,000 from the V.F.W.) and individuals
using lawn flamingos. Someone pays $25 to have them arrive on
someone else's lawn. Then it costs that person $25 to have them
removed. Donations may be sent to Keeping the Lights on, P.O.
Box 1700, Laconia, NH 03247.
