Win a Classic!
Chair Phil Bonafide reports that First Prize Winner Denis Brochu
met with him, Pres. Don Nelson, and Steve Loughlin Thursday last
at Meredith Harley to pick up his bike and was "still really
excited." Brochu assured them that he would be back next
year for more tickets. Pearl Ives wrote to advise she would take
the $200 offered in preference to the Fisher Price Harley. This
year was the first time she and her husband had been to Rally
Week since 1963. Pres. Don Nelson reports that Meredith Harley
Davidson has put us on a list for a 2002 blue and ice Heritage
Classic.

Happy Dollar
Ed Chertok kicked in a buck for wife Polly coming to dinner with
him; Steve Loughlin gave a happy dollar in honor of the engagement
of former Kiwanis member Cheri Marshall to Mike Amalfitano, owner
of Amalfi Racing. Steve heard the good news when he had the opportunity
to speak Cheri last week. Cheri met Mike at the Loudon International
speedway last August. Both were racing their Porsche's (in separate
races). They subsequently began dating and, on New Year's Eve,
they were engaged. Cheri and Mike will be married next May on
a Greek cruise in the Silver Seas.

Chair Chet Cilley says that expenses have been met for the Fourth
of July Celebration at Opechee Park. More vendors are still coming
on board. He encourages our club to be in the parade. This would
be a good opportunity for public exposure.

Guest Speaker
Past Pres. Nancy Williams introduced Mr. Fixit Program Dir. David
T. Poisson to the club. After 28 years as Asst. Principal at
Winnisquam Regional High School, he's moved on to this program
under the auspices of the Community Action Program. Mr. Fixit
is a program to assist Senior (aged 60 or over) homeowners with
minor home repairs. Labor is provided by qualified handymen volunteers
who are experienced with plumbing, carpentry, painting, and electrical
work. Other volunteers provide minor yard work and gardening.
The only charges are for material costs. Donations from clients
to the program are encouraged but not mandatory. United Way and
C.A.P. pick up the slack in funding. The purpose of the program
is to allow residents to "remain independent and stay in
their own homes" longer than might otherwise be possible.
Since moving the program into Belknap County, Poisson has received
180 requests for service in 3 months. Right now he has 26 regular
volunteers available at any time with 60-80 others who pitch
in on an occassional basis.
