Four More Years!
Dianne Roberts has agreed to be club President
in 2007-2008. The club welcomes Dianne into this role and looks forward
to another great year of helping children in the Lakes Region. Roberts
will take the gavel in October. With that, Jeff Stone moves into the role
of 1st Vice President. Having leadership in place for the next 2 years
will make things run smoothly going forward! We look forward to assisiting
Dianne and supporting her as club President!

Ride The Train... 
The train to The Weirs will be leaving Lakeport on the
hour starting at noon
Thursday. It will then return to Lakeport from the Weirs on
the half hour. Visit here for more information: www.biketrains.com.

The club will reimburse you.
Welcome Mr. Beals
There will be a meet and greet at Laconia
High School this Friday, June 15th at the Huot Technical Center welcoming the
new principal at LHS, Mr. Steven Beals. The club is invited and if interested
in attending, please call 524-5710. There will be an 8:00 meet for breakfast
and an 11:30 meet for lunch. It should be noted that Mr. Beals was Joe Collie's
gym teacher at Alvirne High School in Hudson during Joe's sophomore year of
1993-1994. As Joe's girlish figure would indicate...he failed.
Come Check us Out!
We have been invited to visit Mayhew
Island at some point this summer to see all the exciting stuff they are doing for
youth out on the island. You remember in May, club members went out for Mayhew
Clean Up Day. The available dates to visit are:
June 28, 29
July 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 25, 26, 27, 30, 31
August 1, 2, 3
Visits on these dates run from 10am-1:30pm. Perhaps we could plan a road trip!
Please let President Joe know if you're interested.
Poker Anyone?
The

opportunity. More discussion will follow the motorcycle raffle.
Reading is FUNdamental?
The last RIF distribution was held last Tuesday,
June 5th at Pleasant Street School. At Monday night's meeting, we did not get
an update or recap on that...but we expect one at next week's meeting. Stay
Tuned...
