A reminder to all that we will

that our next meeting is Tuesday, January 2nd, 2007. Thank you.
Our
compliments to the Chef!
The club presented gifts to Jim
and Katherine Contagiani, thanking them for keeping us "fat and happy" for
the last year. A special thanks to Katherine, who puts up with more from the
club than Jim does. Lucky for us, she's a good sport...and a good cook.
The
stocking hung by the fire with care...
Dick Metz told the club
that the Belknap Mill is selling stockings for $100 each. It's a 50/50 raffle.
A limit of 100 will be sold and a prize to the holder of the winning stocking
of $5,000 will be awarded. Dick presented the club with a stocking...and if
it is the winner, the club can keep the money! Thanks, Dick! By the way...if
interested in purchasing a stocking for the raffle, see Dick. The club has
number 34.

Ops and Donations
The club presented two donations
to area charities last week. Jim Fortier attended the Open House at the new
Lakes Region Child Care Center and presented a check for $15,000. This constitutes
the second installment on the club's $45,000 pledge. Joe Collie also presented
a check last week to the WLNH Children's Auction. The auction this year raised
more than $200,000. The club presented a check for $1,000 during the broadcast
last Friday night.

Yankee
Swap
A good time was had by all as the Yankee Swap got underway. Big
Mouth Billy Bass made another appearance. He went home with Howard Bacon. Other
highlights included Paul Cotton scoring a monogrammer for his golf balls and
Carroll Stafford trying hard to give his bucket of mixed nuts away. Eventually
they went home with Don Nelson. Merry Christmas!
Special thanks to Dianne Zawacki who captured some of the happy moments through the camera on her cell phone.
