Mystery Theater...
President Dianne received a phone call from a Dave Rock in Nashua, who claimed
that he found a business card on his front door from Jeff Stone referencing
the Stone House, Kiwanis, and a motorcycle. He thought he had won the motorcycle.
Clearly, there is more to this story...stay tuned!
Send it to
committee...
President Dianne passed around a sign up sheet for committees in our new fiscal
year. If you did not see the sheet, please make a point to get on a committee
at any future meeting. Also...please remember...we are all on the membership
committee.
Website update....
Steve "Dot Com" Loughlin asks that you check the membership
page at
our website. Please make sure that the information about you is correct....the
year you joined the club, work phone, home phone, etc. Any corrections that need
to be made may be emailed to Steve at steve@theloughlins.com.
Speaking of
the website...
Ed "Dot Org" Chertok reminds the club that there is a good opportunity
for revenue by keeping up with the sponsorship links on the home page...and by
selling more.
Cover that
hole...
Immediate Past President Joe Collie received his second past president plaque.
Now he can cover the hole in his office at WASR. There are actually 2 holes in
the wall, but the first plaque covers the other one. The plaque was to be presented
at the Installation last week, but unfortunately, it did not arrive until the
following day.
Dr.
Eckel would not be happy with Joe's recent plaque buildup.

Reading is
FUNdamental
Kathy Calvin reminds that there is a Reading is Fundamental book distribution
scheduled for Elm Street School. Wednesday, October 24th from 1:30-2:30. A sign
up sheet will be passed around next week. The tentative date for Woodland Heights
is later that week, October 26th. Stay Tuned....
Friday Night
Lights
Jim Fortier thanked John and Kathy Calvin for their help in the snack shack
at the last home football game last Friday night. He reminds the club that there
is another home game this Friday night, and another 2 weeks after that one. There
may also be a home playoff game or two, as Laconia's football team in undefeated
so far and a favorite for the division title. If you can help in the shack this
week, please be there for 6:30 and thanks in advance for your help.
Extra Extra
Read All About Us....
The club's motorcycle raffle was mentioned as one of the main points of interest
at Laconia Motorcycle Week in an article featured in a recent edition of V-TWIN
Magazine. The article featured a big write up and photo shoot of Bike Week and
said you can --quote-- "get everything from tattoos to a shot at a Harley,
which will benefit the Laconia Kiwanis club and their efforts in serving children's
charities in the area." Free publicity is a good thing!

Free Meal
Roger Landry. That means he will probably invite Pam soon.
