From
the Prez:
Interim
President Brian
started the meeting
by outlining the
Board of Directors
top two priorities
for the next 6
months:
1. Membership
2. Public
Relations
President Brian let the club know that we will be focusing our efforts to increase
both priority areas and that members can expect some committee reassignments
as we move forward. To start with, we have invited the teachers that we
work with in the KARES program as well as the Key Club to our May 24th meeting. We
are working on getting a speaker for the evening so this would be a good meeting
to bring a guest or prospective member to.

us a report

Fourth
of July Update:
Chet Cilley
updated the club on July 4th activities.
To date it looks like the fireworks will be shot off the top of the Laconia downtown parking garage, just like last year. Chet said that this is entirely due to new state regulations. Chet has also worked to solicit sponsors, vendors etc. He hopes that Kiwanis will be a lead sponsor in the amount of $1,000.

Happy
Dollars:
$2
from
Chet
Cilley,
one
because
it
is
always
nice
to
see
his
fellow
Kiwanians
and
one
because
he
now
has
3
great
grand
kids
$2 from Dennis Denoncourt, one because his son Jason (former Key Clubber)
ran and finished the Boston Marathon, and raised $6,500 for charity, and
one because it is his grandsons 1st birthday.
$3
from
Roger
Landry,
Paul
Cotton

back
and
we
are
hoping
he

be
back
for
many
more
meetings
$1 unhappy dollar from Larry Murphy because in Gilford NH it is apparently
legal to put a well anywhere you want and not tell anyone…Larry related
a story of a missing well on his daughters property.
$1 from Paul Cotton because Larry’s well story was so entertaining
Larry
Murphy's "well story "
entertained the group especially Paul Cotton.
