Your attendance is welcome...
President Dick announced that the Adult Kiwanis Christmas Party will be
on December 14th and we will be having a Yankee Swap. So, if you want to participate
please bring a wrapped gift (maximum value: $10).
Kathy Calvin is looking for volunteers for Kiwanis K.A.R.E.S. on December 10th.
Cathy Knox invited the membership to go up one flight of stairs at One Mill Plaza to visit her new studio directly after the evening's meeting.
Another Contribution....
Cathy Knox has been
kind enough to donate additional money to the Laconia Kiwanis Club. For the
second time this month, Cathy gave the club $40, which represents proceeds
from her Yoga studio. Thanks, Cathy! t

I’ll
tell you if you won.”

Guest
Speaker:
Joe
Adrignola introduced Elaine Morrison, a retired special Education Teacher
and Artist.
Elaine talked about forming a program called Veteran Art Exchange where students
share artwork with military hospitals like Walter Reed.
Elaine also spoke about how war has influenced her life. Her father was in
the army, her uncle was a veteran, she had lost classmates in the Vietnam War,
and her son Brendan, son-in-law, John and nephew, Jonathan, have recently or
are currently serving.
Elaine then gave us a tour of the artwork on display, explaining to the club
the different techniques and the story behind each piece. For more information
on Elaine and her artwork, check out a recent article in Laconia's Citizen
by "clicking" here.
Elaine
points out one of her artistic work, which is called "Doc."
It is a collage which was made out of
a tourniquet and gauze from
her son-in-law, John's, medical kit.

| Kathy Calvin teamed up with the Laconia Key Club last Saturday to participate in the Salvation Army's annual Turkey Plunge at Weirs Beach. Most teams wore costumes, this team wore mustaches. Although it was a very nice day, the water temperature at the time of the plunge was reported to be a refreshing 48 degrees. | ||||
