Thanx
HOBY ambassadors Robert
Stanley and Zachary Winslow wrote to thank us for supporting
the program.
Come to the Island
The Mayhew Program
has invited our members to visit Mayhew Island on certain days
in July and August to interact with their students. Reservations
required.
Let the Bidding End
Pres. Phil Bonafide
sent around the sheet one last time for the silent auction for
the two tickets ($120 value) to the July 5 Boston Pops event
at Meadowbrook that the New Hampshire Music Festival donated.
And the winning bid was $80 from Scott Beane.
Interclubs
Warren Mitchell advises
nine members are signed up for the trip to the Mt. Washington
Valley club on Wednesday, June 19, rain or shine. Members should
meet at 4:30 p.m. at A.G. Edwards on Union Ave. near Messer St.
The next will be to Berlin on July 16 (raindate July 23). If
someone brings a car, pooling may be available.
Membership
Chair Nancy Williams
has been burning up the email with some of our newer members
to develop a strategy to attract younger members. Evidently,
with little/no fanfare, Paul Cotton has rejoined our ranks. He
particularly endeared himself to this writer by pointing out
vocational inaccuracies on the Membership page. Welcome back,
indeed.
Scholarships
Steve Loughlin reports
that we have received thank-you notes from three of this year's
scholarship winners: Kyle Fugate (U.N.H.), Marty O'Riordan (Past
Key Club Pres./daughter of their Advisor, Steve), and Jordan
Inglis (Stonehill College). Because of $500 carrying over from
last year, $3500 was disbursed this year.

Win a Classic!
Pres. Phil Bonafide
reports that even with the bad weather, we raised more this Motorcycle
Week than last, and for the year as a whole. First Prize-winner
Ken "Skip" Stillwell, Mullica Hills, New Jersey, was
on hand with his wife, Donna, and kids for the drawing 4:30p
Sunday last. After no one took them up on their offer to sell
their children to defray the taxes on the Harley, financing was
arranged through Meredith Harley and Harley-Davidson. Second
Prize went to Diane "Zee" Theriault of Townshend, Mass.
Pres. Phil wants everyone to carefully consider their level of
commitment to this fundraiser before the club votes at a future
date on whether to buy another motorcycle. He is (rightfully)
concerned that unless we get more participation, the Usual Suspects
will burn out. Past Pres. Nancy Williams will draft a letter
to Thurston's Marine for providing parking. They were also given
20 tickets before the drawing. Congratulations to all of us for
breaking the bank. Thanx to photogs Steve Loughlin and Randy
Eifert for documenting the week (and whole year, for that matter).
With hundreds of pictures at my disposal, I'll run a few of the
better ones over the next few weeks.
19,000 tickets later...it all comes down to this.

Fines
Sec.'y Kathy Calvin
collected fines for herself and an unnamed co-pinless; and Charlie
St. Clair for being late.
Happy Dollars
Dennis Denoncourt
kicked in a buck for not getting fined for being pinless; and
Ed Chertok for breaking 100 today golfing.
Amending the Bylaws
Pres. Phil Bonafide
has added amendments to our club's bylaws solicited from our
membership. When the changes have been incorporated into the
existing bylaws, it will be available for review online.
