Win a Classic!
Pres. Phil Bonafide passed around a sign-up sheet (which returned
with zero names) for our next roadshow the Steeplegate Mall,
Concord, for the Boat Show. This show runs March 8, 9, and 10
so we need a good showing from all of us as we raised $4000 last
year. Remember, we all voted to do this major fundraiser.
Pres. Phil Bonafide avoids noticing that Sec.'y Kathy Calvin's extra-long bangs impair her vision.

Happy Dollars
Russ Beane came up
with a buck for the Winnipesaukee River Crematorium going four
years without losing anyone; and Bob Turner for celebrating his
79th birthday--he also paid by having to listen to the vocally-challenged
render Happy Birthday.
Russ Beane claims that it only looks like cement.

Guest Speaker
This writer introduced
Sgt. Robert H. Bryant, N.H. Department of Fish and Game to the
club. His father was a State Warden for 30 years, rising to the
rank of Lieutenant. Bob Bryant has been on the job for 23 years
and now is Deputy District Chief for our area. Fish and Game
officers enjoy all police powers (except for motor vehicle violations)
and must attend the N.H. Police Academy. The slide presentation
pointed out that duties change over the course of a year and
include enforcement of fishing, trapping, hunting, and OHRV regulations;
stocking waters from fish hatcheries; and search and rescue operations
including technical rock climbing and dive teams. Go here
for more info on the department.
