Back from Ariz.
"How do ya do,
Roger Webster, how do ya do?" We feared he would answer.
Thanx
We received a thank-you
letter from the Senior Babe Ruth Baseball team for our $100 contribution.
Forward, Harch!
The Laconia Little
league has invited the club, as a supporter of the league, to
march in the opening day parade. The parade will be held this
Saturday, May 4, and will leave the Elks' Club parking lot at
8:30 a.m. and proceed up Main Street to Opechee Park. Though
little interest was expressed to participate, it seems the least
we could do is tow our trailer through the streets.
Win a Classic!
Pres. Phil Bonafide
reports that no one has signed up for our next roadshow to the
Keene Swap Meet, Sunday next. This is doubly disturbing. In addition
to not being able to field a minimum sales force, we miss the
potential of clearing the $2500 we raised last year. That's a
lot of money we won't have to spend on our charities. Anyone
interested in helping out with a rescue mission to salvage the
event should call this writer at 524-9555 by Thursday. If there
is a sufficient response, Sr. Member Dick Breton is willing to
provide transport for crew and equipment, weather permitting.
Admittedly, this is a tough show, as it's, in practical terms,
all-day duty. But $2500 is $2500.
Diamond Anniversary
Treas. Chet Cilley
reports that the anniversary supplement should be completed in
about two weeks. Sr. Member Roger Webster presented the club
with a $25 check from the Superstition Springs Kiwanis Club,
Mesa, Arizona for an ad in the supplement.
RiF
Chair Joe Adrignola
advises the club again will participate in the next Reading Is
FUNdamental at Elm St. and Pleasant St. Schools, May 17 and Woodland
Heights School on May 22. Be sure to sign up early.
Club Elections
It was voted to accept
no further nominations to the existing slate for next year's
officers and directors. The following will appear on the ballot
for club elections for 2002-2003 to be held at the Annual Meeting
on Monday, May 6: for Director (four to be elected)--Joe Collie,
Don Nelson, Steve Loughlin, Warren Mitchell, Randy Eifert, and
Russ Beane; Treasurer--Chet Cilley; 2nd Vice President--Nate
Robertson; 1st Vice President--John Grocki; President--Larry
Murphy.

Happy Dollars
Dan, John, Nathan,
and Joe each contributed a buck in celebration of their winning
the 50/50. Dick Breton contributed 5 happy dollars in recognition
of accomplishments of his two granddaughters Meghan and Caroline.
Meghan, age 9, achieved straight A's in her fourth grade class
and, after one year of skiing at Mt. Cranmore, she took first
place in a racing competition. Caroline, age 7, first grader,
became a published writer for her creative writing at Pine Street
School in Center Conway. On May 1, she will receive Student of
the Month award as an exceptional student.
Sr. Member Dick Breton pays for bragging rights.

Guest Speakers
Dianne Roberts introduced
three speakers from Lakes Region General Hospital. Each addressed
"Easing Back into the Games of Summer," also known
as getting back into recreational events without injury. Craig
Johnson, 5-year exercise specialist from the Wellness Center,
spoke on general physical concerns. Target areas include cardiovascular
exercise, muscular strength, and flexibility training (stretching
your muscles). Joshua Brooks, a 8-year physical therapist in
Rehab Services and located in the Belmont office (Wilcom building),
discussed basic information available on the internet. He noted
that 80% of injury's are due to poor preparation prior to a workout.
Stacey Sorrell, 9-year Coordinator of the Pain Management Program,
addressed why patients come in for pain management. She reported
the program results in individual plan of care for each patient.
