Laconia Kiwanis Club

August 26, 2013- Vol. 24, No. 21

Guests:
Terri Forsten, Laconia School District Superintendent
Muff Walker, guest of John Walker

Roger's Ride Update:
President Scott asked for a recap of the just completed Roger’s Ride from Betty, and net earnings from Joe.

Betty Ballantyne shared her sentiments and appreciation to the many Club members who assisted and participated in Roger’s Ride. She felt it was a huge success.

Joe reported that net earning to date is $5,236, and not all the money is in quite yet. So, it is hoped we may reach the $5,500 mark.

News from our Secretary:
Kathy Calvin reported that purchases for Kiwanis K.A.R.E.S. books are complete for two of the three schools. We are still waiting on Pleasant Street School to complete the year’s purchases.

50 50:
Evidence that the earth is back on it’s correct axis, the dynamic duo of Joe Adrignola and Jim Fortier returned to the winners circle after an absence of over two years. Joe was ecstatic until Jim told him that he (Jim) had won at the last meeting too, which Joe had to miss. Tonight’s take was $17.

$4 from John Walker: $1 each for his wife, Muff, attending and Terri Forsten attending; $1 for the huge success of Roger’s Ride on Sunday, and $1 for the end of the Got Lunch! season after 25,935 lunches had been distributed with the significant help of many Kiwanians
$1 from Joe Adrignola for being back in the winner’s circle
$1 from Dick Breton for all of the Riders getting back to Laconia safely after an unexpected encounter with an unpaved gravel road
$1 from Jim Fortier for finally getting paid the $1 owed him by a past Superintendent for his coaching the school ski club
$2 from Kathy Calvin: $1 for her daughter being back from a 3-month internship in Florida and $1 for Kathy getting her car back now that her daughter has returned to college
$1 from Ed Merski for a safe return from a two-week trip to Poland
$20 from Steve Loughlin: $5 for the Roger’s Ride Captains Betty Ballantyne and John Walker, $5 for the RRC committee members that worked so hard to make it happen, and $10 for God allowing him to successfully complete the Gilford 5K Saturday at 64 years of age
$2 from Betty Ballantyne to the Club members that were so instrumental in making Roger’s Ride a success
$2 from Kevin Irish: $1 for the success of the ride, and $1 for Steve completing his 5K Road Race
