Special Olympics
The sign-up sheet
for staffing the softball throw at the State Special Olympics,
U.N.H., Saturday, June 8, 8:30a, is out. On board are Peggy Arend,
Chet and Grace Cilley, and Michael Bastraw. This really is a
fun event that all members should consider supporting if they
are not selling tickets on the boardwalk the same day. If anyone
needs additional info, call Special Olympics at 1-800-639-2608
or Kiwanian Art Creighton at 448-3431 (w).
Win a Classic!
Pres. Phil Bonafide
reports that he, Don Nelson, Kathy Calvin, John Grocki and Roger
Webster were on the Weirs Boardwalk Saturday last. They raised
$815 between 9a and 3p with a light to medium crowd. After that,
it's motorcycle week, our last big push and "that's all
we're gonna make." The sheet is out there and needs to be
filled. Pres. Phil has signed up for 10 shifts and will probably
end up doing more. The least the rest of us can do is sign up
for a couple of shifts (and don't forget your sunscreen). As
usual, if you sign up for a shift and can't make it, it's your
responsibility to find a replacement. V.P. John Grocki and Nate
Robertson put together a display of our activities to use on
the Boardwalk. Past Pres. Jim Fortier is looking for a large
ticket drum for the final push, if anyone know where one may
be had. Thurston's Marina has once again agreed to allow us to
park on their property next to the drive-in theater fence. Be
certain not to block either of the gates to the theater!

Sec.'y Kathy Calvin
noted that she, Dianne Roberts, Nancy Williams, Judie Reever,
Joe Adrignola, and Off. Kevin Butler helped with Reading Is FUNdamental
at Woodland Heights School, Wednesday last. Liz Rosenfeld, PSS
RIF Coordinator, writes: "Aloha to Kiwanis Club, Attached
are some pictures of the RIF celebration at Pleasant Street School.
As you can see, the students are having a wonderful time and
the response has been so positive. I can't thank you enough for
sponsoring this project, it has more than accomplished the goal
of stimulating interest in reading. Our students are excited
about the program and feel privileged to be part of RIF. Thanks
again."
It's much too bright to read ghost stories.

He Doesn't Look Like FDR
Charlie St. Clair
assured all that "there is nothing to fear" from potential
violence between rival motorcycle groups during Motorcycle Week.
He believes that the news media have blown things out of proportion.
Charlie St. Clair's suggestion to stay calm seems to be working.
