Congrats to Us
Pres. Phil Bonafide
noted that, as reported in the most recent Yankiwanian,
that we received an Honorary Mention for The Kiwanis Kronikle.
Thanx to all who helped make this possible, notably photographers
Steve Loughlin and Randy Eifert.
Win a Classic?
Next week we will
be voting on whether to do another motorcycle raffle, 2/3 of
those present required for passage. Pres. Phil Bonafide would
like all members to be aware of what an affirmative vote means.
Last year we conducted 13 roadshows over 30 days with 279 shift
openings to be filled but weren't always. (For those who like
statistics: if every member covered 8 shifts over the course
of the fundraiser, no one would have to do more than 8.)
So the vote Monday next isn't so much whether you think its a
good idea for the club to do the raffle, but more that you are
willing to do your fair share with shift coverage.
Gilford Old Home Day
Pres. Phil Bonafide
reports that the sign-up sheet is still out there for the August
event. And we could use some more names.
Interclub
Warren Mitchell advises
that the next interclub will be to the York club, York Harbor
Inn, Thursday, August 15. The crew will leave from A.G. Edwards
at 4:30p to make the 7:00p meeting. We will need a count by next
week.

Joseph Andriolo, from
the Greater Lawrence Kiwanis Club, Mass. discussed some of the
fundraisers his club participates in including: a card raffle,
golf tournament, and dinner with a silent auction. Their 60-member
club donates most of their funds to schools and summer programs.
Guest Speaker
Sr. Member Dick Breton
introduced Chris Smith, Wealth Management Consultant, A.G. Edwards
Trust Company, to the club. His job is to help individuals pass
on their legacy to their heirs with the smallest tax consequences.
