You're
Invited:
At the conclusion of next week's meeting, the membership is invited to check out Cathy Knox's new Yoga facility which is located on the first floor of One Mill Plaza. Cathy has been kind enough to donate some of the monies she has earned through her Yoga classes to the Laconia Kiwanis Club.
Thanks
Newbees:
President Dick thanked Cathy and Tom Knox for their
work on assisting the club with our fundraiser at The
Lodge at Belmont.
Speakers
Wanted...
President Dick requested that members help line up guest
presenters for our meetings, if you have anyone in mind please let Sergeant
at Arms Roger Landry know.
What's
Happening?...
The club discussed Christmas activities and it was decided
to have a Christmas Party for members and guests but, as an alternative to
a children's Christmas Party, we will donate money to a program like Salvation
Army’s that provides gifts for area children at Christmas time.
Kathy Calvin let the club know that she will be once again doing the Turkey Plunge this Saturday, November 21st, at the Weirs.
Nate Labelle of the Key Club let us know about their activities
which include having up to 11 members of the Key Club doing the Turkey Plunge,
completing a charity walk, ringing the bell for Salvation Army and possible
volunteering as elves for the polar express.
Happy Dollars:
1 from Scott Beane for all of the
understanding and support he received from the club while caring for his
dad
1 from Dan Feehily for getting a part-time job
1 from Warren Mitchell…his wife’s new hip is working out so well

period
