Bike Rodeo
Roger Landry received a thank-you note from one of the Safety
Day participants. "Dear Kiwanis Club, My friend talked to
one of your members and got me a wicked cool helmet. Thank you
for making the world a better place by making kids safe as they
ride their bikes. I love my helmet. Thank you!! From, Ashley
Cote, Laconia."
Opening the Camp
Pres. Larry Murphy reports he and several Key Club members helped
open up Camp Mayhew for the summer. It took them three hours
and he has a bit of a sore back to show for his hole-digging
labors.
Win a Classic!
Chair Paul Cotton advises that we probably will not be on the
Weirs Boardwalk Memorial Day weekend due to anticipated bad weather.
The next roadshow would then be the Auto Show at Meadowbrook,
Saturday, May 30. Thurston's Marine has agreed to let us use
their parking lot during Motorcycle Week.

Guest Speaker
Charlie St. Clair introduced Project Director Shirley Glines,
Project EXTRA, to the club. Project EXTRA (Enriching, eXtensions
To Raise Achievement) is a 21st Century Community Learning Centers
grant project. It is federally funded through the N.H. Dept.
of Education. Other partners in the project include the Laconia
School District and Parents and Children Together. EXTRA will
be providing extended school day and vacation programming for
all five Laconia schools. Students will have the opportunity
to enhance their strengths and strengthen areas of weakness in
academics, learn life skills, new hobbies and leisure activities,
bond with other students and adult mentors, and serve the community.
Proposed enrichment clubs include: swim lessons and life guard
certification, community service, reading, debate, math, adventure,
student radio, college search and scholarship, and archaeology.
She started working on the project in the beginning of March
and is actively seeking volunteers as mentors and to help with
the various programs. Interested members may contact Shirley
Glines, 528-0359.
