CHESHIRE
FAIR
There was a scheduling error for the Cheshire Fair coming up the following week. If the club wants to participate, we must be there for all 5 days and not just the final 3. We have been circulating a sign up sheet for just the weekend: Friday through Sunday, August 1st -3rd, but we must fill the first 2 days as well in order to be included. Past President Joe Collie passed around a revised sign up sheet.

Hey
Kiwanis…THANKS!
We received a thank you note from Charlie and Jennifer for the opportunity
to speak at the club’s meeting last week. They had a great time and thanked
Steve Loughlin for his promoting their new book and helping them sell several
copies.

Berlin
Interclub…
Warren Mitchell said the club has a good time at the Berlin Interclub last week.
They left Laconia at 3pm. Ron Penn, Jim Fortier, Dick Metz, Larry Murphy, and
Ian Davis (Warren’s friend) made the trip. Jim was able to successfully
steal a gavel from the Berlin Club. Turns out it belonged to John Morton, a former
Kiwanis International President. Ooops. Well, if the Berlin club wants it back…they’ll
come and get it.
Held
for
ransom.

Happy
Dollars:
Russ Beane gave 2 happy dollars for his wife getting 2 new knees. He has
been playing a male nurse the last 3 weeks. Roger Landry gave 2 happy dollars
for the cow that was across from the Kiwanis booth at the Stratham Fair.
Warren Mitchell gave a happy dollar for the tornado missing all of us. Joe
Collie gave 2 happy dollars, 1 for the tornado being in South Wolfeboro while
he was in North Wolfeboro and 1 for the club’s efforts at the Stratham
Fair. Ed Chertok gave a happy dollar for John Morton, a former Kiwanis International
President whom he and most of the club members knew. It was John's old gavel
that was swiped by Jim at the Berlin Interclub last week. Ed says John Morton
was “quite a guy.”

Guest Speakers:
Marybeth
Bailey from the Circle Program was
our guest speaker. She is the program’s Volunteer Coordinator. The
Circle Program’s
mission is to provide socially and economically disadvantaged New Hampshire
girls with new opportunities to develop the skills, courage and confidence
they need to handle the challenges in their lives. We do this by offering
the girls in a unique combination of adult and peer support that is delivered
through residential summer camp and year round mentoring. The Circle Program
serves girls in central and northern New Hampshire, including the Concord,
Laconia, and Plymouth area. Girls between the age of 9 and 11 are referred
to the program by teaches, guidance counselors, and social service agencies.
They enroll 36 girls at a time. Bailey said the Program started 16 years
ago. She shared the results of a recent survey of volunteers and mentors.
She said also highlighted the improvements made over the last four years
at the camp in Groton. They have added a library, more bathrooms, more space,
and more activities. Currently, of the 36, 6 girls are from the Laconia area
and 3 girls are in the Circle Graduate program. They are looking for 1 more
mentor to match up a girl from Laconia. Goals for the future include doubling
the mentor base and doubling the number of girls that are served by the program
to 72. Steps to be taken include more public relations and a larger donor
base and a larger volunteer mentor base. For more information: The Circle
Program PO Box 815 Plymouth, NH 03264.
