Guest Speaker
Sr. Member Ed Chertok, whose father, Max, was a Charter Member
of our club from 1927, took us back to that time describing what
being a member of Laconia Kiwanis was like. Back then, the club
met at the Laconia Tavern on Mondays, wore jackets and ties,
failed at their first fundraiser, and was very much into singing
with piano accompaniment. He also presented glimpses of many
of the early past presidents.
Sr. Member Ed Chertok gives us a peak at Past Pres. Ned Roberts, namesame of our Kiwanian of the Year award.
