Raffle:
The
first weekend of the Rochester Fair left a little to be desired
as bad weather and small crowds seem to do us in. Brian Winslow,
Dick Metz, and Howard Bacon sold tickets over the weekend, with
the latter two working both days. Larry Murphy and Ed Merski
will work a couple shifts as time permits during the week and
then the second weekend comes up. Signed up so far:

Hey
Kiwanis…THANKS!
We received a thank you from the Italian Cultural Club for using the tent during the Laconia MultiCultural Market Day on September 6th.

Happy
Dollars:
Dick Metz gave five happy dollars for his time this weekend at the Rochester
Fair. He stressed membership! Brian Winslow gave 2 happy dollars for Dick
Metz and Howard Bacon working the fair this weekend. Dianne Roberts gave
3 happy dollars, 1 for this being her last meeting as President, 1 for her
son moving out to college in Pennsylvania, 1 for her other son passing the
motorcycle test. Bill Cosmos gave 2 happy dollars for being here for Dianne’s
first and last meeting. Roger Landry gave 2 happy dollars for his son being
the architect of a hospital in Saudi Arabia.
Roger
and Dianne play tug of war with this dollar.

Lori Dickson and Dianne Roberts were pinless.
Guest
Speaker:
Dave
Cooley from The Lodge came and spoke about some of the new rules that
surround charity nights at The Lodge in Belmont. The Kiwanis Club has
10 nights scheduled for the early part of 2009. One of the rules that has changed
was, in the past, a club member had to be in attendance for the entire time of
the gaming events. Now, a club member only has to be there to just sign the license
and then leave…five
minutes in and out. Within 10 days of the final night, the gaming facility and
the club will get together and sign some final documents and pass the check.
Dave said that this year, most charities will realize $7-8k from their run, where
as, in years past, charities would take home between $4k and $5k. There could
be a substantial increase in revenue if pending legislation regarding slot machines
and legalized gambling is passed.
ATTENTION CLUB MEMBERS: Be in attendance at the meeting of September 29th
so we can discuss this fund raising opportunity further with the general membership.
Thanks.
