Reading
in FUNdamental:
Kathy Calvin gave us the latest RIF update:
There was a distribution last week at Woodland Heights. On hand for the fun
were Joe Adrignola, Don and Sue Nelson, Kathy Calvin, and Larry Murphy. Joe
Adrignola played the part of Dr. Seuss. Please note
that the next RIF, which was scheduled for this Wednesday the 12th, has been
rescheduled for Wednesday March 26th at Pleasant Street School at 1:30. Don
Nelson is not available that day. Signed up so far are Kathy Calvin and Joe
Adrignola. A sign up sheet will be circulated next week.
Hey
Kiwanis...THANKS!
We received a great number of baseball themed thank you cards from
Woodland Heights for the first RIF distribution back in the fall.
The theme that day was the Red Sox, who were making their World
Series run at the time. Kathy Calvin pointed out that one of the
cards read "TANK you very much." Kids
say the darndest things...

Bike
Rodeo
It's that time of year again. Chet Cilley informed the club that he has had
discussions with Officer Kathleen Yale at the Laconia Police Department and the
Bike Rodeo has been set for May 10th. It is the wish of all involved to formulate
a plan to get into the schools the week before and let all the kids know that
the event is happening so that we can increase awareness and participation. At
this point, the location and the rest of the details need to be ironed out, but
the date will be May 10th. Stay Tuned!
Where's
Charlie?
Dick
Breton reports that while in Daytona he made several
attempts to see Charlie St. Clair. Dick says that,
each time had had checked in at the booth, Charlie
was "working." Dick was told "you
just missed him."

Fines:
Roger Landry was pinless...and honest.
Happy
Dollars:
Roger Landry gave $2 for Pam coming to dinner with him. Denise Dow gave $2 for
finally getting some planned renovations started around her house. Joe Collie
gave $1 in honor of his Dad's 55th birthday. That brought many moans and groans
from the "over 55" crowd. By the way..Joe's mom will be 53 in October
(insert more moans and groans here) In all, $5 was collected.
Guest
Speaker:
Jim
Cande, former radio
man and current General
Manager of Castle
in the Clouds in
Moultonboro, spoke
to the club about
the Laconia
Nationals car show, something
he started as a cruise
night event when
he was managing WLKZ.
He said in 4 years
the event has grown
to more than 800-900
cars and has earned
recognition at the
World
of Wheels show in Boston. Attendance last year was in the neighborhood
of 3,000 people. Jim spoke to the club about possible fund raising efforts that
Kiwanis could get involved with in conjunction with the show. Roger Landry put
forth the idea of selling ads in the program booklet for a percentage of the
sale and also selling raffle tickets for whatever we decide to do as our major
fund raiser at the show, which is scheduled for Gunstock this Memorial Day weekend.
More discussion to follow. The Laconia Nationals show is May 23rd through the
25th.

Cande comes down from Castle in the Clouds and visits Roger Landry
