Pres. Phil Bonafide reports that we took in $4895 at the Rockingham
Park roadshow--$2460 on Saturday and $2435 on Sunday. That puts
us in the $3000 net area. Thanx to Dick Breton, Warren Mitchell,
Phil Bonafide, Kathy Calvin, Jim and Arline Fortier, Ed Merski,
Steve Loughlin, Michael Bastraw, Roger and Pam Landry, Nancy
Williams, Don and Sue Nelson, and Joe Collie for keeping up the
side. The next roadshow will be in March at the Steeplegate Mall,
Concord, for the Boat Show. This is a 3-day weekend so we'll
need all hands pitching in...especially on Friday.

Guest Speaker
Steve Loughlin introduced
David
Stamps, Main Street
Initiative, to the club. A Laconia native, Stamps has served
on local planning boards and is the owner of dbstamps consulting services. His visual presentation reviewed
Laconia's downtown history and points out possible directions
to propel the city into the company of other Main Street Programs. The State
of New Hampshire program
grant winners will number three out of the five applicants. To
put our best foot forward towards qualifying, it's important
that everyone submit a letter of commitment of time and/or money
to the Main St. Initiative, c/o Belknap Mill, Mill Plaza, Laconia,
NH 03246. In addition to the 70 people already actively working
on the grant application, additional volunteers will be needed
as well as monetary donations.
