Conventioneering
Sec.'y Kathy Calvin related "how much fun it was" attending
the New England District Convention last weekend. We received
an award for sponsoring two students in the HOBY program (the
biggest deal was our Secretary having her picture taken with
Hugh O'Brien himself) and for the bulletin. Thanx to Charlie
St. Clair for donating a sweatshirt for the silent auction. Ed
Murphy became Governor-Elect. Also in attendance were Pres. Don
Nelson and Immediate Past Lt. Gov. Chet Cilley.
Interclub
Warren Mitchell reported on the Berlin trip last week. A little
rain fell on the way up but it was a beautiful night. Berlin
club, jokesters that they are, put oil spills around all the
Laconia bikes. We got them back good, however, when Al Dolloff
beat the odds and pulled the ace of hearts and won the 50/50
jackpot for nice little sum of $340. The pot had been building
for many months with Berlin money!
