Speaker:

re-introduced
NH
Senator
John
Sununu
to
the
club.
John
spoke
about
the
economy
and
energy.
He
addressed
New
Hampshire’s small
business economy, his 2007-passed legislation to ban Internet access taxes ,
and the need for a comprehensive energy policy. Sununu outlined his support to
a comprehensive energy policy. Sununu is the youngest member of the Senate and
the only Senator with an engineering background. He was elected in 2002 and faces
re-election this year. His opponent is former New Hampshire Governor Jeanne Shaheen.
The two also faced off for the Senate in 2002. This evening marked the second
time John Sununu has addressed our club, the first time was August 19, 2002.

Dear Fellow Kiwanians...
When
I first joined the club
in 1987 (whew! that
was a long time ago),
one of the functions
of the house committee
was to "lay
out the badges" which
meant placing the name badges on the tables before members arrived. There
was a case in the custody of the house committee chair with a single numbered
name badge for each member in it. The purpose of the house committee placing
the badges was to see to it that everyone sat in a different spot with different
members each week. The club was somewhat larger then and so it was a way
in which all club members got to know one another better. Less chance for
cliques to form as well. Members were fined $1.00 for moving a badge to sit
in a seat other than the one assigned by the house committee. You can see
from the size of the fine that it was taken seriously. If, at the end of
the night, your badge
was not placed
back in the case,
meaning you took it
home, that also incurred
a $1.00 fine the following
week and for each
week it went unreturned. Some
members were exempt from the rule out of necessity: the secretary because
he or she needed space, the sergeant at arms who needed a vantage point from
which to observe members as they came in for pins and ties (yes there was
a fine for failing to wear a tie). The other officers sat at the head table.
I think the procedure regarding the badge placement should be reinstituted.
To some new members, the club is all about the same members they always sit
with. Long term that is not good for the club. If one or more members should
leave for any reason, the newer member might feel isolated and leave as well.
I am as guilty as anyone of sitting in the same spot each week and have to
admit that I don't know some new members at all. What do you think?
