• Roger reviewed the September schedule of Kiwanis events which includes: September 4th Board meeting, September 10th regular meeting at Pheasant Ridge, and September 24th meeting at Stonegate Winery, Gilford.

• Roger also shared there was a late cancellation of tonight’s guest speaker due to a security issue at the Motorcycle Museum in Meredith.

• Brian Winslow reminded members of the September 15th home run derby at the major league ball field at Opechee Park (next to the Laconia Middle School). Brian mentioned the club would be looking for about 10 volunteers to show up at noon that day. A sign-up sheet will be passed around at the next meeting. He stated if there was a specific job you wanted to volunteer for, let him know and he will hold it for you.

• Brian also briefed us that he had met with the Casino folks recently and they are facing several legislative challenges in the coming year. If you want to be contacted by them so as to be available to support them in some fashion, let Brian know.

• John Walker took the opportunity of the guest speaker cancellation to brief the club on the just-completed Laconia program for 2012.  Highlights include: 22,331 lunches this summer; 35,732 over the two summers of the program; 208 volunteers this year, only 72 last year; the Laconia Kiwanis club was huge in it’s support. 

The Laconia Kiwanis club sponsored the St. Patrick’s Day dinner as a fund-raiser, and many club members volunteered as delivery folks.  John mentioned those who delivered and singled out Jim Fortier who delivered all 10 weeks of the summer.  John also mentioned that 59% of surveys were returned by the families, and he is absolutely convinced that the kids are getting the food and benefitting from it.  He mentioned the great support of the Laconia Daily Sun, and thanked the club for its part in the program’s success.
