We have it in writing…
Joe
Collie also showed off a letter he received from the Lakes
Region Scholarship Foundation that was signed by the President of the Foundation thanking him
for hosting the spelling bee back in October. The signature reads "Kathy Calvin,
President." There is a hand written footnote that reads: “Future
Kiwanis President.” Now she can’t back down! We have it in writing…
...never
put it in writing...

Hey
Kiwanis…THANKS!
We
received a thank you note from the Laconia Multicultural Market Day committee
thanking us for our donation. We supported the petting zoo at the event,
which was held in downtown Laconia last fall. You’re welcome!
Please
sign
up….
Brian
Winslow passed around a sign up sheet for the gaming nights at The
Lodge.
If you are on the list, please sign up. Brian said that he did the first
night this past weekend and said it literally took two minutes to sign
the documents. In two nights, Friday and Saturday this past weekend, we
have made more than $2,200. Easy money!
Schedule
reminder:
President
Brian reminds the club that we will be meet on Tuesday, January 20th and
not on the 19th because of the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. Please make
note of the schedule change.
Kiwanis HealthBeat...
Our
thoughts and prayers
are with both Peter
Karagianis and Ed Chertok,
our two most senior
members, as they go
through their respective
health issues.
Peter
suffered a heart attack
last Wednesday (New
Years Eve). He spent
a week in the hospital
(LRGH) and was released Tuesday
(January 6th). He is
now recovering at home.
Peter, his son, noted
that his dad's "spirits
are good as he insisted
on driving home from
the hospital" (which
he did). Peter added,
"we are looking
forward to seeing him
out and about especially
at the Kiwians club."
Ed continues his battle. As reported in an earlier bulletin, he is welcoming visitors at the Taylor Home, but asks that you call first..
Kiwanis
KARES...
There
will be a KARES distribution
at Elm Street School
on Monday, January
12th from 9:30-10:30.
Please remember that
school clocks are 6
minutes ahead. On the
schedule so far are
Don Nelson, Dick Metz,
Brian Winslow, and
Joe Adrignola. We could
use two more people.
Please check your schedule
if available.
