While the bottle of Kahlua (thanx, Babs, for the spell check)
with scratch tickets was clearly the most traded item, The
Women of Tamworth calendar seemed to hold the special
interest of our group.

Win a Classic!
The roadshow moved to the outside of the Lakes Region Factory
Outlet Mall near the Chocolate Place, Tilton, Saturday, December
22. Appearing (per usual) were 9:30a Set-up: Don Nelson and Phil
Bonafide; 10a-1p: Don Nelson, Phil Bonafide, Kathy Calvin; 1p-4p:
Don Nelson, Phil and Jackie Bonafide, Charlie St. Clair, and
Steve Loughlin; 4p Close: Don Nelson and Phil Bonafide. $1030
was raised at our first appearance at this location--a pretty
good take for such a cold day. Congrats to the crew. Next up
is our furthest trip: Connecticut Expo Center, Hartford, January
5 and 6. This show has the potential of bringing in several thousand
dollars. So let's all support the effort. Another big show follows
on January 12 and 13 at the Shriners' Auditorium, Wilmington,
Mass. This is another 4-figure outing. Pres. Phil Bonafide will
have the sign-up sheets at the ready for our next meeting--let's
put 'em to good use.
Where're the shorts? Where're the bandanas? Hold the ice cold lemonade!

Bylaws

of the club. The bylaws are now online here
or by clicking the links that will appear on all new Kronikle
pages.
Festivus for the Rest of
Us
I'll waive the traditional Airing of Grievances and move straight
to my Kronikle Thanx List. This issue is a good example of the
ongoing contributions of photogs Steve Loughlin, Randy Eifert,
and assorted and miscellaneous. They've snapped a lot of pictures
and caught us at our best and not-so-best (but funny). We have
also received ongoing support/proofreading from our members,
other Kiwanians, and friends of the club. This attention is appreciated.
I look forward to when we all embrace this publication to the
point where we feel comfortable enough to add all our voices
into the mix.
