Project
Updates:
Fundraising: VP
Mike reminded
everyone that
they are to
sell 10 raffle
tickets each
to help in
our efforts. If
you haven't
received your
tickets yet,
please give
Mike a call. Mike
reports that
we are $219
in the black
right now with
our raffle
but we still
have a portion
of the Scooters
to pay for
so he figures
we have around
$400 to go
before everything
is paid for. Special
credit goes
to Senior Member
Paul Normandin
because he
has already
sold 10. Mike
then led a
discussion
about alternate
venues and
strategies
to sell raffle
tickets.
Bike Rodeo: VP Mike then updated us regarding the Bike Rodeo. He has worked with Kevin Dunleavy from the City of Laconia and it looks as though our best option is to have the Bike Rodeo on May 15th at Opechee Park.
Kiwanis
KARES:
The
next Kiwanis KARES event will be on April 15th at Pleasant Street. Please let
Kathy Calvin know if you are interested in helping.
50 50: $17 to Paul Normandin

Normandin
shows

ticket and

rubber bands.

Free Meal: Roger Landry
Food Pantry Collected: $14
Happy
Dollars:
$3 from Paul Normandin for winning
$1 from Roger Webster because law enforcement cleaned up his neighborhood down in Florida
$1 from Warren Mitchell because he tripped during his Easter egg hunt and found that he was still able to get up.
Warren
Mitchell
is happy
because he
DIDN'T have
to say:
I've
fallen and
I can't get
up.
