Thanks for
a good time…
Lt. Gov. Joe Collie thanked those who helped and participated in last week’s
installation, including Ed Merski, Peter Karagianis, Joe Adrignola, Kathy Calvin,
Phil Bonafide, and Don Nelson, among others. We got positive feedback from the
other clubs and the Governor. It went well. Thanks again!
25 Years and
Counting:
Kathy Calvin presented past president Larry Murphy with his 25 year pin and
Legion of Honor plaque. Larry was not at the Installation last week to receive
it then. He got a nice round of applause from those in attendance tonight. Here’s
to another 25 years, Larry.
Larry,
Denise, and Joe all need their glasses to see Larry's new pin.

Happy Dollars
Howard Bacon for winning the 50/50. Dick Metz gave 1 for Tom Knox being
at our meeting. Roger Landry gave 1 for Tom Knox being here to see
that all Kiwanians are not like Dick Metz. Phil Bonafide gave 2 for
Barbara Luther being our guest speaker. He praised her work as Registrar
of Deeds.
Fines:
$0.25 was collected from Charlie St. Clair for being late.
Guest Speaker:
Barbara
Luther was our guest speaker. She has worked at the Belknap
County Registry of Deeds for 23 years and is currently the Commissioner Registrar. She
said they have a staff of 6 with a combined experience of 193 years.
They cover 10 towns and 1 city and have records that date back to the
mid 1700’s.
Records from those early days are hand written. They were all recently
restored and put in plastic sleeves and leather bound books. To illustrate
the recent mortgage crisis, Barbara said that in 2007, 117 foreclosures
were recorded for the entire year and through August of this year, 110
had already been recorded. She discussed ways that the registry makes money
and some of the technology that has been made accessing, storing, and retrieving
information more efficient than when she started 23 years ago. She is running
for re-election in the November election.
This
candidate for office is flanked by her 2 bodyguards.
