From the President: 
President Meredith announced that the Board, this evening, approved a $750 donation to the Key Club to help finance seven members to attend the New England District Winter Convention. For the benefit of the Key Club, Meredith listed the upcoming Kiwanis Club activities, many of which we hope to have Key Club support. We have the May 20 Bicycle Rodeo, Bike Week, a membership drive in July, and the August Roger's Ride.

Meredith noted, this March is our gaming slot with Phil Bonafide and Kathy Calvin handling that for the Club. Meredith also mentioned she is in contact with a group from Woodland Heights Elementary in Laconia who have plans to build a school playground. Anticipated construction is in 2018 and she will keep the Club informed.

Food Pantry: $56 was collected
