Win a Classic!
Pres. Phil Bonafide

roadshow opportunities at the Steeplegate Mall on Saturday, April
6, from 9a-4p; and the WLKZ Home Show, Winnipesaukee Expo Center,
April 13/14, 9a-6p. Joining Bob Turner at Steeplegate are Don

Nominating Committee
Pres. Phil Bonafide formed a nominating committee for next year's
officers chaired by Michael Bastraw and including Steve Loughlin,
Dick Breton, Nancy Williams, Warren Mitchell, and Don Nelson.
Members interested in any upcoming offices should contact someone
on the committee which will meet next week after the regular
meeting.
Diamond Anniversary
Treas. Chet Cilley
has more assignments for members to contact past sponsors for
our 75th anniversary Citizen supplement. Give him a call
if you have no one to contact. It's our job to contact those
sponsors we only visit once every five years and ask for their
support. When the ads are turned in, they should include a contact
person as well as all ingredients. Also articles for the supplement
should be turned in before the end of the month; the sooner the
better and electronically if possible.
Bike Rodeo
Chair Chet Cilley
met with the Safety Day committee last week and will be asking
the Boards for money to run the event.
Survey Says...
Catherine Contigiani
passed out the results of the meals survey we filled out a few
weeks back. Big winners were tossed garden salad, sandwiches,
onion soup, lasagna, ziti with sauce, stuffed and grilled chicken,
turkey, scalloped and red skin potatoes, broccoli(!), pies, and
ice cream. Least favorites included: cole slaw, chili, macaroni
and cheese, chinese pie, carrots, peas, and jello. Our meal rates
have increased by $.25.
Winning Tickets?
The Keene club has
sent us two $20 tickets to a raffle similar to our old 120 Club
which is drawn over several weeks with the chance of winning
more than once.
