Thank You Kiwanis...
President Brian advised the club we received a "thank you" from the Key Club for helping to send them to South Africa. They will give us a full report on their trip at our meeting next week.
In the meantime, their "thank you" card extends
an invitation to a presentation they will be doing for those that helped
them.
"Click" on the postcard below to read
the invitation from the Laconia Key Club.
Steve Loughlin read a "thank you" from Bridget Cass for awarding her a scholarship through the Lakes Region Scholarship Foundation.
Korean War Hero Update:
Ed Merski reported that Roger Webster is still recovering
at Genesis but is expected to be released later this week.
New Membership:
Dick Metz reminded the members to be
working on the list of prospective members for the upcoming membership
roundup on September 14th.
President Brian noted if anyone has any questions, suggestions, or names
of anyone you would like to invite, you are welcome to give him a call.
Once a prospective
member has been approved by the Board of Directors and that prospect has
agreed to be a member or the club, a Membership Information
Blank needs to
be completed and returned to the club Secretary prior to induction. A Membership
Information Blank is available by "clicking" here.

Roger's Ride for a Cure
In
memory of Roger Ballantyne:
Steve
Loughlin reminded the club of an invitation from the Ballantyne family to
the friends of Roger Ballantyne. The invitation reads as follows:
Through the support of many good people, we are putting together a ride in memory of Roger Ballantyne and to raise monies towards a cure for Kidney Cancer. The Kidney Cancer Association works together with patients, family members, physicians, researchers and many other health professionals. We found them very helpful during Roger’s battle to fight Kidney Cancer.
The campaign is “Roger’s Ride for a Cure”. It will take place on Sunday, August 30, 2009. It will be a motorcycle ride starting and ending at Irwin Toyota Used Car Center in Laconia, NH. Registration will run from 9:00 am until 9:45 am and will include coffee & muffins. The ride will begin sharp at 10:00 am and will conclude no later than 1:00 P.M. A barbeque and raffles prize will conclude the ride. (The ride will take place rain or shine.) A shorter route will happen if the weather does not cooperate. We ask $25 per motorcycle as a donation…all of which will go towards the Kidney Cancer Association.
We understand not all of you ride. We encourage you to attend the gathering and for those of you who would like to contribute towards “Roger’s Ride for a Cure” you may do so by linking onto the kidney cancer site directly.
Our intent is to include family and friends and anyone who wishes to participate. If you know of anyone who will want to join us, please forward them this letter and website address. This is something we thought best to try this first time on a smaller scale through word of mouth. We anticipate anywhere from 15 to 30 bikers.
