will be our last big push before the drawing. Tickets and or

make it into the new, larger drum Jim Fortier is having fabricated.
Fines
Nancy Parrot found Roger Webster pinless; Don Nelson forgot to
mention Peter Karagianis in the introductions; and Dennis Denoncourt
tardy.
Happy Dollars
Steve Loughlin came up with a dollar for his son's graduation
party going off with no liability issues; Howard Bacon for his
grandson graduating cum laude from DePaul University; and Don
Nelson for the 50/50 count's completion.

50/50
Amanda Simpson, $26 (she wanted to donate it to the club but
was dissuaded.)
Guest Speaker
Past Pres. Joe Adrignola introduced Laconia City Planner Amanda
Simpson to the club. She has been on the job for over six years
since leaving Wolfeboro Town Planning. She is involved with the
River Walk project that was conceived in 1996 as an effort "to
reconnect the city." Laconia has always had to deal with
the mixed blessings of interior waterways. These features promoted
the growth of the area but necessitated many bridgings across
them. While the Key Club had developed a walkway from Church
St. to behind the municipal parking lot in the 70's, ultimately
the River Walk would extend from the Weirs Bridge to Winnisquam.
This is a large project that will need to be done in steps. The
goals are to celebrate the river, present the areas history with
walking tours, and provide recreational opportunities for visitors.
The History Walk through the Belknap Mill will kick off at the
end of June.
