Back to the Ridge
Pres. Phil Bonafide reminds everyone that next Monday we return
to Pheasant Ridge Country Club for our meetings. Thanx to the
folks at One Mill Plaza, Inc. for allowing us to use their comfy
facilities through January and February. And Contigiani's for
providing their traveling feast.
Is this Immediate Past Pres. Don Nelson's politically incorrect plea for Chinese food when we return to Pheasant Ridge?

Win a Classic!
Pres. Phil Bonafide sent around the sign-up sheet again for our
next roadshow to Steeplegate Mall, Concord, March 8-10. We still
have many openings in this three-day schedule. As pointed out
before (here he goes again), this is our major fundraiser for
the year voted unanimously by the club. One would assume
that means that not only were we all in favor of the endeavor
but want to support it by giving some of our personal time to
selling tickets. Many have stepped up and show up time after
time. This is a relatively local show, out of the elements, with
a generally non-pugilistic crowd. Why not get your feet wet on
this one? Until the show the Harley is residing at Laconia Savings
Bank--these folks, mostly non-Kiwanians raised around $3000 for
us last year.

Home of Champions
Past Pres. Nancy Williams
took advantage of Kiwanis' tour of the new home of the New England
Patriots: CMGI Stadium. She was quite impressed with the $328
million facility from its heated grass to field viewing from
any concession area.
Joe Adrignola secretly hopes that Past Pres. Nancy Williams choses someone else for her martial arts demonstration.

Happy Dollars
Paul Normandin chipped
in for winning the above.
Paul Normandin's ability to lift two dollar bills into the air was not as impressive as one might think.
