Next week...we meet Tuesday!
Remember that because of the Labor Day holiday, we will be meeting on Tuesday.
Boards meet and NISE money will be collected and we will discuss the fund
raising for next year...motorcycle or not.
The Installation of Dianne Roberts...
President-Elect Dianne Roberts will become President Dianne Roberts on Monday,
October 1st. The Installation will be held in the big room at Pheasant Ridge.
Spouses and guests are encouraged to attend. Cost will be $20 as usual and
a menu is being worked out. More details to follow. Stay Tuned... By the
way, we still need a second Vice President to serve after Jeff Stone in 2009-2010.
Any takers?
Hey
Kiwanis....THANKS!
We received a thank you from the Laconia Public Library thanking us for our
recent payment of $4,333. The Library's renovation was awarded the best public
improvement project of 2005. The "thank you" was signed by Jon Nivus, the Chair
of the 2nd Century Campaign. That competes our pledge of $50,000 to the library
for the Kiwanis Children's Room.
From the Key Club...
Kayne Kreitzer informs us that the new Key Club advisers (there are 2) are
former members of the Peace Corps and both served in Africa. He is looking
forward to meeting them next week when school starts. Kayne also thanked
Jim and Larry for helping out in the snack shack at Laconia High School last
week during the football scrimmage. They pitched in at the last minute. Kayne
told the story of their broken soda machine, which the Coca-Cola Company
in Belmont fixed, and he also told the story of their grungy and broken popcorn
machine. Turns out Dick Metz has 2 popcorn machines. He donated one to the
Key Club. Great job, Dick!
50/50
Chet Cilley won $21.
Happy Dollars
Chet Cilley gave 2 for winning the other 19. Kayne Kreitzer gave $4...1 for
the Coke machine getting fixed, 1 for Dick Metz donating the popcorn machine,
1 for being at Kiwanis, and 1 for the help in the snack shack last week.
Jim Fortier, Don Nelson, Ed Merski, Roger Landry, and Warren Mitchell each
gave one for various reasons. They talked faster than this writer noted...in
total, $10 was collected.
Fines
Russ Beane was pinless.
Guest Speaker
Jeff DeFrancesco of The Citizen was our guest speaker. Jeff runs the Newspaper
in Education (NIE). He also hands out newspapers at all Meadowbrook concerts
free of charge. Jeff said that the Citizen recently changed it's name to
The Citizen of Laconia. The rolls of paper at the printing press in Dover
have 5 miles of paper on each roll and they print nearly 24 hours a day at
Foster's in Dover. The Newspaper in Education program focuses on Middle Schoolers
and High Schoolers on Monday and 3rd through 6th graders on Wednesday. More
than 304 teachers are enlisted in the program and more than 1500 newspapers
are circulated to area. Jeff said he had been the Education Coordinator at
the Citizen for 4 years and recently enlisted classrooms in Belmont and Canterbury
in the program. The Citizen was first published in 1926 and there have been
4 general managers in it's history. Jeff distributed cups and tote bags to
members who answered questions about the paper correctly. Check them out
online at www.citizen.com.
