weekend, we have purchased helmets, received information from KPTI, and received
certificates for the kids for ice cream. Joe Adrignola also reports that LRGH
would like to be involved and form a full safety day event, including checks
of car seats in vehicles.
Spaceshot Update
Regrettably, it was one step forward
and three steps back for Roger Ballantyne this week. Prior to starting the
next phase of his treatment, a new tumor was discovered in his brain. Surgery
on the brain is scheduled this week. Our thoughts and prayers are with Roger
and Betty always.

Happy Dollars:
Dianne Zawacki gave for the Teen Center
becoming officially "The Boys and Girls Club of the Lakes Region." She
informed the club of their grand opening event coming on June 30th. Dick
Metz gave a dollar because he invited his mother in law to Florida. For some
reason, he stressed that was NOT a happy dollar. In all, $2 was collected.
Fines:
Warren Mitchell was pinless and fined
$500.
25 cents was collected.
Guest Speaker:
Todd Fraser gave the crew a tour of Laconia's historic Belknap Mill. Built in the 1800s, the Mill has been renovated through the years and now houses a gift shop, a museum, a conference room, and even the Mayor's office. Enjoy some of the pictures from the tour.
Todd
Frasier welcomed us with open arms.
