End of an Era?
Pres. Don Nelson, having no one volunteer to chair the food trailer,
was saddened to report that we will probably not reserve our
usual space for Gilford Old Home Day. And by extension, it appears
we may not be at the Fourth of July celebration.
Happy Birthday, Mt. Washington

Matters Dental
When we meet at Lakes Region General Hospital next week, the
Dental Resource Center will be the main item on the agenda. Representatives
will present information on several issues including acquiring
new workstations at $25,000-$30,000 a pop, as well as how the
area children will be able to receive the required care in a
timely manner.
Happy Dollars
Steve Loughlin came up with $3 for closing the sale of his house,
renting from Wilkinson-Beane, and the fact that it's not a coffin;
$1 from Russ Beane for now having a tenant who pays his bills.

Chair Chet Cilley will be meeting at Parks & Recreation Tuesday
next at 11:00a to continue planning of the Fourth of July festivities
at Opechee Park. All are invited as they will now meet on a weekly
basis; same Bat Time, same Bat Channel.
Guest Speaker
This writer introduced Dr. Don Carey to the club. Practicing
pediatrics off and on over 30 years in the Lakes Region, at the
age of 60, he and his wife took a 6-month Retirement Ramble through
Africa after there most recent 5-year stint for the Peace Corps.
His mission was research in the area and maintaining the health
of Corps volunteers in many different villages. Carey's slide
presentation (all were interesting and some breathtaking) first
took us to their climb up Mt. Kenya. At the 17,000 foot summit
he discovered that he had a serious respiratory problem which
made the decent painful and possibly life-threatening. But that
didn't stop them from continuing their vacation with a bicycle
tour of Zimbabwe and a 150 mile hike through Nepal in 24 days.
Now this was no walk in the park; it was mostly uphill and downhill
all the way reaching altitudes of 18,000 feet.
