Thanx
Pres. Don Nelson presented a letter from Aaron Stewart, a student
from Laconia High School, in appreciation for our donation to
allow him to attend HOBY's weekend-long seminar which was "informative,
fun, interesting, and interactive."
Come to the Cape
The 83rd Annual District Convention will be held in Hyannis,
Mass. August 23-26. Pres. Don Nelson, Sec.'y Kathy Calvin, Sr.
Member Dick Breton, and Treas. Chet Cilley have R.S.V.P.'d. All
others are encouraged to attend.
Dental Resources
Pres. Don Nelson visited the Dental Resource Center last week
for a tour and photo opportunities. Dr. Soucy, Tufts Dean of
Exterior Programs was on hand. The school will be providing students
to the center who will work under the supervision of a full-time
oral surgeon. Sr. Member Roger Ballantyne was also there representing
the hospital.
Win a Classic Next Year?
Next week Pres. Don Nelson will be calling for a vote of the
general membership as to whether we should raffle another motorcycle
next year. And, relatedly, whether we should exercise our option
to purchase the box trailer we've been renting. We have paid
$800 for it's use which may be applied to the $2800 purchase
price. These decisions must be made as soon as possible due to
the necessity of getting an order in early for a new bike. A
two-thirds majority is necessary for passage.
Pres. Don Nelson gets animated.

Win a Classic!
Past Pres. Nancy Williams reports that $610 was taken in over
the weekend at the Rally Headquarters tent. She suggests that
an effort should be made next year to be on the boardwalk for
more foot traffic. Pres. Don Nelson and V.P. Phil Bonafide set-up
at our site for the week Monday morning. Power was already there
and Phil sold $80-worth of tickets as they were setting up. That's
about what the 2nd shift was able to sell from 5p-8p during the
thunderstorm Monday night. Steve Loughlin delivered the final
monies from sales at Laconia Savings Bank. This year they raised
$3090 for us. Commuter notes: Lakeside Ave. closes by 10a every
day; the Weirs Bridge will close to cars Thursday, the same day
the trains start running out of Lakeport and Meredith; free parking
is available at Thurston Marine's storage area along the Drive-in
Theater's fence and at Joe Adrignola's house off Rte. 11B. Past
Pres. Michael Bastraw reviewed the schedule. We are still a little
thin on Friday and Saturday afternoon and evening--our peak times.
Please contact Chair Phil Bonafide if you can help fill-in this
crucial time. And, again, if you've signed up for a shift and
can't make it, arrange your own replacement. (Schedule follows
photos.)
Past Pres. Nancy Williams: ready, willing, and able for the Big Week

A Bear Market?
Sr. Member Dick Breton brought back a couple of stuffed bears
from the Lake George, New York motorcycle rally. These souvenir
figures are customized and sold by the Glen Lake Kiwanis Club
for $10. Something to think about for next year?
