Thanks For The Memories...
President Joe Collie thanked all involved with the Installation on October 2nd. He noted, all those in attendance and those that lent a helping hand to the event should be pleased in how the evening went. Well done.
"Hooray for the Fair..."
The Sandwich Fair netted the club close to $3,500! Thanks to all that participated in the selling of tickets over the weekend. The '07 raffle has gotten off to a great start. On hand this past weekend: Paul Cotton, Warren Mitchell, Larry Murphy, Phil Bonafide, Jackie Bonafide, Kathy Calvin, Joe Adrignola, Joe Collie, Dianne Zawacki, Dick Breton, and Jeff Stone. The weather could not have been better...

Tilly: The Trilogy
Watch out George Lucas! Dr. Lou Ricciardiello had another flower bloom on Monday, October 9th. For those of you scoring at home, that's 3 in 3 months. Not bad. In recognition of his donation of the first Tilly, the club received a plaque from Kiwanis International acknowledging a donation in Lou's name. The plaque will be presented to Lou as soon as possible.

Health Update
Roger Ballantyne is going in for brain surgery this week. Our thoughts and prayers are with Roger and Betty. Godspeed, Spaceshot. Peter Karagianis is doing better, according to Dick Metz. Metz reports that Peter had some tests done that came back negative, and other than some weight loss, Peter appears to be just fatigued after his recent Florida trip. We hope to see both Roger and Peter back with us real soon.
News Update (as of 10/11/06 Wednesday evening):
On Wednesday morning Roger went into surgery for his brain tumor. Surgery was successfully completed by mid-afternoon. As of Wednesday evening, Roger was resting in intensive care.Hey Kiwanis, THANKS!
Joe Collie showed off the certificate the club was given at the recent Community Health and Hospice Banquet. It was given in recognition of the club's support of the CH&H Young Family Program.
