KEY CLUB NEWS:
With summer vacation in progress, there is no news to report from the Laconia High School Key Club. However, LHS Key Club members Aidan Eldridge and Lydia Tucker have been working with Kiwanis member Steve Loughlin on a special joint project. Steve Loughlin, Kiwanis Club Director; Aidan Eldridge, President of the LHS Key Club; and Lydia Tucker, District Governor of the Key Club New England & Bermuda District, anticipate this yet undisclosed project will have appeal on both a local and District basis. The three are hopeful that this project will be successfully completed within the next two months.

Stay tuned!

Due to the Coronavirus outbreak, a decision was made by the Laconia Kiwanis Club NOT to participate this year in Bike Week. Bike Week, which is normally held in June, was postponed to August 22nd through August 30th.

Annually, the Kiwanis Kronikle includes pictures of the Kiwanis Club members’ participation in Bike Week as well as other pictures of this major event. However, with the decision of the Club not to participate this year, we now present an abbreviated version of Bike Week Memories for 2020.
