Awful. And 2. We adjourned at 6:50! We’re here for a good time, not a
long time.00 x 300, RGB 8 bits/Pixel

board are Joe Adrignola, Kathy Calvin, Warren Mitchell, Terry Fortson from
the superintendent's office and Randy Brough from Laconia Public Library.
The theme for the day is non fiction. Anyone interested in helping out, just

Bike Rodeo Update:
Joe Adrignola circulated a sign-up
sheet for the Bike Rodeo. The event is scheduled for Saturday, May 12, 2007
and will take place in the downtown parking lot across from Greenlaw’s
Music. Jim Fortier advised the club that we will NOT be having a car seat safety
check that day due to manpower and time limitations. Mr. Phil and his balloon
twirling will be on hand just like last year. The sign up sheet will
go around again next week. Stay Tuned….

and Girls Club of the Lakes Region Dinner
will be on June 30th from 5-9pm at Sacred Heart Hall in Laconia. Joe Collie
will serve as MC of the event and the club has purchased a sponsor table for
5. If anyone is interested in representing the club at the event, please let
Dianne Zawacki know. More details coming soon. Thanks!
Wet Day:
The wind and the rain made
it a very wet Monday. Many areas were flooded including Roger Landry's table.

Landry was "cut off" after wasting his second drink on the table.

Happy Dollars: 1
The above 50 50 winners were
dubbed “cheap bastards” because the five of them gave a total
of only 3 bucks. Then, Warren Mitchell gave a dollar because his basement
was not flooded and he had no broken windows at his house. Roger Landry then
gave a happy dollar because he was glad the day was almost over. Dick
Metz gave a happy dollar because Roger Landry was going to suck water out
of his house. This increased
the collecive contributions from the five 50 50 winners to $6. Subsequently,
Steve Loughlin gave a dollar and retracted his “cheap bastards” label. In
all, $7 was collected from this happy group!
Fines:
None. That won’t help the general
account.
