Hey Kiwanis...THANKS!
Joe Adrignola presented a THANK YOU we received
from Community Health and Hospice thanking us for our support of their Young
Families Program. The "thank you" was
accompanied by a picture and literature explaining the program and what
the organization is able to accomplish with our donation.
Reading is FUNdamental:

25th. Present were Joe Adrignola, Kathy Calvin, Dianne Zawacki, and Sue

2007. The specific date will be forthcoming.

Happy Dollars:
President Joe Collie gave $5. 4 for his promise
last week to give for his Golden Mike Awards and the 5th for seeing that Dianne
Roberts was not afraid of someday being President of the Laconia Kiwanis Club.
Speaking of...Dianne gave $2, 1 for winning the other 16 and the other for
her son possibly being accepted to UMASS Amherst, where he will be majoring
in girls and partying. Oh yeah...and music, too. Charlie St. Clair had a happy
dollar for being back in town. Glad to see ya, Chuck. Welcome Back.
Collie wins the "Blue Ribbon."

Fines:
Joe Collie had $.50 for being late and pinless. There was another fine,
but this writer is creating this week's bulletin from memory...and
right now it ain't working.
A visit with my friend "SpaceShot" by
W. Stephen Loughlin
After Monday night's meeting, the writer
visited with Roger Ballantyne. Roger
recently had surgery to remove a cancerous brain tumor. I found Roger at home
resting comfortably. He looked fine but was a little bored because, for the
time being, he is not supposed to drive.
Roger reported that, in two weeks, he will head back to the hospital in Boston for a follow-up to his initial surgery. There he'll undergo CyberKnife surgery. This is a non-invasive radiation-surgery that will cleanout any remaining cancerous cells.
Roger appreciates your thoughts and prayers and extends his best wishes to his fellow Kiwanians.
Roger Ballantyne says "hi."
