The Big Easy
Lt. Gov. Ken Georgevits
was at the International Convention in New Orleans with 10,000
other Kiwanians from 80 different countries. Ron Ito Torres from
Manila will be our next President. He points out that the Kiwanis
family numbers over 600,000 worldwide with 5500 in the House
of Delegates. Topics considered including adopting an anti-terrorism
policy (passed) and annual dues payment (failed due to lack of
understanding!). The next International Convention will be in
Indianapolis, June 20-24, 2003 which is only a day's drive from
here. The next cons will be in St. Louis, Honolulu, and Rome.
It should be kept in mind that we are part of an international
organization and are encouraged to take credit for programs beyond
our own club such as the I.D.D. campaign. His own club, Concord,
will be sponsoring a car show on Saturday, September 2. And the
next District Convention will be in Danvers, August 22-24.
Lt. Gov. Ken Georgevits is still jazzed after New Orleans.

Win a Classic?
by Pres. Phil Bonafide
With the 2002 raffle behind us, it's now time for the membership
to decide whether or not the Club should commit to a Harley raffle
for 2003. The discussion and vote will take place at the July
29 meeting. The decision whether or not to continue with a raffle
must be a club decision based on a 2/3 vote of the members present.
The raffle involves a large financial and time commitment for
the Club and its entire membership. Whether you are for or against
continuing the raffle for 2003, please attend the July 29 meeting
and make your position known.
Old Home Day
Next week Roger Landry
will have a sign-up sheet for our appearance at Gilford's Old
Home Day in August. He received $100 from members last week to
help defray expenses.
Interclubs
Warren Mitchell reminds
everyone that the next interclub will be to Berlin on July 16
(raindate July 23). If someone brings a car, pooling may be available.
Right now, 7 bikers are on board.
Thanx
Steve Loughlin read
thank-you notes from Josh Carroll and Jen Upham (attending Southern
N.H. University, majoring in Business Administration) for our
scholarship support. Dianne Roberts received a letter from Holly
O'Shea, Woodland Heights School, for the helmets we donated to
their health fair.
Plans for the overthrow of the male membership had to pause for a photo opportunity.

Right Off His Back
Sr. Member Roger Webster
(who was gratified that Charlie St. Clair not only wore his K
pin on his TV show but mentioned Kiwanis) offered a Kiwanis golf
shirt to anyone it would fit. Dianne Roberts took him up on it.
July 4, 2002
Past Pres. Jim Fortier
says everything is all set for the Independence Day celebration
at Opechee Park. Roger Landry will pull our trailer in the parade
and Joe Collie helped line up the musical entertainment. Charlie
St. Clair will start the fireworks at 10p.

Happy Dollars
The above winners
donated the money to Gilford Old Home Day operations. Charlie
St. Clair turned in another $100 in raffle ticket sales with
Phil Bonafide chipping in a buck for the extra revenue.
Charlie St. Clair's get-away van may be a bit too high-profile.
