From The President:
President John briefed the Club that, at last week's Board meeting, a vote was taken to donate $250 to the Belmont-Gilford hockey team. In exchange for the donation, all game-day programs for the remainder of the season will feature a 1/4 page Kiwanis ad.

John also reported that the Board recommended that the Club donate $1,000 to the Laconia High School Key Club in Dick Breton's name. In Dick’s obituary, his family had requested this donation in lieu of flowers. Following Club discussion, the motion passed unanimously.

Tonight's induction of Izzy Brake was postponed until our next meeting, as Izzy was unable to get away from work.

From The Members:
Bill Gile gave a brief run-down on upcoming Key Club events, including a cookie walk in February, and participation in the Hands-Across-the-Table event.

Betty Ballantyne briefed the Club on our participation as challengers of the Laconia Rotary Club in the upcoming January indoor golf event. She also noted we will be receiving a donation in March of several hundred dollars as a result of our sponsorship of Christmas tree sales on Union Avenue in December.


Food Pantry/Free Meal: $55 was raised for the food pantry; Steve Loughlin won the free meal.

 

50/50:

• $1 from Betty Ballantyne for Sue Janes being in attendance
• $2 from Phil Bonafide: $1 for Rob Reid and Scott Laurent not resisting their fines for no Club pins, and $1 for Phil’s 3rd grandchild and 1st grand-daughter being born earlier this month

• $1 from Roger Webster for his first great grandson about to be born this month

• $2 from John Walker: $1 for each of our guests

Guest Speaker:
Although we had not official guest speaker this evening, Kathy Calvin’s guest, Captain Nora McNeil, gave a brief synopsis on the Salvation Army. She explained the mission of the Salvation Army and how the organization is set up.  The Salvation Army is very active in our community and efforts are underway to grow their church.

Tonight's meeting was adjourned at 7:21 p.m.

Thank you, Kiwanis:
