Dinner at the Ridge
Meeting at Pheasant Ridge Country Club for the first time since
our original audit a year or two ago, the first order of business
was hitting the buffet. Offerings included prime rib with sauce,
potatoes, corn, two salads, rolls, coffee, soda, and strawberry
shortcake. Dinner ended at 6:45p and the meeting began.
Something for the Banner
Pres. Don Nelson (rested from vacation which is a good thing
as he returned home to find a foot or two of snow in his driveway)
presented the House Committee with a new patch marking our annual
$100 donation to International.
Goodwill Tripping
Pres. Don Nelson with his weekly reminder of the New England
District's goodwill trip to Montreal in May. Sr. Member Dick
Breton is putting together a motorcycle contingent to make the
trip May 18-20.
Considering Our New Home
Steve Loughlin presented our host, Jim Contigiani, to the club
for discussion on making Pheasant Ridge Country Club our new
meeting place. Due to the staff being under a 10-month contract,
we would have to meet elsewhere during January and February.
The meal cost will be $9.75 with options of a second entree for
$1.50 and table linen for $15 per meeting. There would be no
minimum servings as long as we don't deviate too much from our
25-member average.
On the Road Again
Sr. Member Dick Breton announced that we will hold our regular
meeting in the cafeteria at Lakes Region General Hospital at
6:15p on April 23. The guest speakers will be Dr. Troy Shrupp
and Sharon Swanson will the Dental Resource Center. The meal
cost will be $8.
Win a Classic!
V.P. Phil Bonafide needs volunteers to staff the roadshow at
the Winnipesaukee Expo Center, Laconia, April 21/22. Shifts will
be only 2-3 hours as it is a short drive for most members. This
would be a good chance for some new supersellers to join the
fun.
I Feel a Web Presence

Guys for this and the promo on the Weather Channel.
Our New Home
Pres. Don Nelson accepted a motion from the floor to make Pheasant
Ridge Country Club or regular meeting location. After seconding,
the motion passed unanimously. Our next two meetings will be
back at Top of the Town.

Happy Birthday
April babies were Howard Bacon, Joe Adrignola, Scott Beane, Kathy
Calvin, Charlie St. Clair, Randy Eifert, and Dan Faenza. And
for those who care about such things, this month contributed
the most members to our club by almost a 2-to-1 margin.
Next Week
We meet back at Top of the Town. The guest speaker will be Sheila
Weeks, Belknap Juvenile Justice Initiative.
