Interclub
Chair Warren Mitchell reports that the trip to Berlin, postponed
from Tuesday last because of threatening weather, will leave
NAPA Auto Parts at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 17. Plan on a cookout
and boce play.
Fore
V.P. Phil Bonafide (presiding) has Dan Fisher and John Grocki
looking into putting together a golf tournament for August. This
would be a good opportunity to publicize the club and possibly
generate new members.
Membership
Chair Nancy Williams reports that membership is down regionally.
We have not had a new member for a year. Members need to be constantly
on the lookout. If we're not growing, we're shrinking.
Win a Classic!
V.P. Phil Bonafide is researching new dates for our raffle appearances.
We should be good-to-go with our new bike in September or October.
Fines
Sgt.@Arms Roger Landry found Dennis Denoncourt, Dick Breton,

Guest Speaker
Steve Loughlin introduced new Laconia City Manager Eileen Cabanel
to the club. A visitor to the area since she was a child, she
assures everyone that she is always "willing to listen"
to feedback on the state of the city. She cites our strengths
of "diversity and potential" as paradoxically holding
us back at times. According to Cabanel, an assured steady pace
of development is far better than racing ahead, stopping, retreating,
and then having to move ahead again in a new direction. She believes
that it is also important that Laconia helps to develop a regional
economy. To this end she recommends the hiring of an economic
development director. She enumerated various city projects in
the works and fielded questions from the membership.
