Life’s
a Beach….
Brian
Winslow indicated that he still had two tickets left for the Belknap
Mill’s Life’s a Beach party
on Friday May 8th. The tickets were quickly scooped up by Howard Bacon.
Bike
Rodeo...
The
Bike Rodeo sign up sheet was passed around again. The Bike Rodeo is coming
up on Saturday, May 9th. Mike Marsh said tickets for the inspections are being
made up. The raffle bike and the horns have been ordered. The raffle bike is
a 24 inch bike, but should the winner require a smaller bike, they will be
allowed to trade it in for the appropriate size. 1,000 copies of the flier
will be going into the schools this week and the word is getting out. The event
will be at Leavitt Park on Elm Street in Laconia. Signed up so far: Brian Winslow,
Joe Collie, Kathy Calvin, Phil Bonafide, Joe Adrignola, Dianne Roberts, Steve
Loughlin, Warren Mitchell, Ron Penn, Mike Marsh, Jim Fortier, Roger & Pam
Landry, Roger Webster, Paul Normandin, Carroll Stafford, Larry Murphy and Howard
Bacon.
On the Boardwalk:
Dick Metz said that, at this point, we have restaurant
gift certificates from the BrickFront and the Galley restaurant. We will have
tickets for the painting of a motorcycle by Phantom Phenders. We will also have
a Kiwanis “kettle” of sorts for passer-by's to make donations. This
will all take place at no charge to the club, other than advertising. Dick said
the only investment the club will need to make is the time to man the booth during
Bike Week.

Happy
Dollars:
Dick Metz gave a happy dollar because Roger
Landry made it back safely from the DR. He gave a second dollar for some other
reason…Howard
gave a happy dollar because he was happy that Dick was happy. Roger gave $5
because he made it to and back from the DR and because we welcomed back Larry
Murphy, Howard Bacon, and Jim Fortier. Kathy Calvin gave a buck because
she will be on her cruise next week and Joe Collie gave two dollars because
the incoming Lt. Governor resigned, that one was given in sarcasm….and
a second because his wife is now a permanent employee at the Belknap County
Nursing Home.
Did
someone say "happy hour?"

The writer was pleased to get reacquainted with a good friend of Kiwanis last Friday night at The Vinyards restaurant in Belmont. John Paquette served as president of the Laconia Kiwanis Club for the term of 1996-1997 and was Kiwanian of the Year for the period of 1993-1994. Pam, John's lovely bride of eight years is...beleive it or not...Roger Webster's daughter. Undoubtedly, John has heard a lot of war stories.
