Happy Bucks:

- Alan Kanegsberg – 50 happy bucks for his 50 years in the Concord area. Alan arrived 50 years ago with his young family, and started working for the largest employer in the area at the time, Rumford Press. Alan will be moving south soon, but will be doing make-ups until the end of the year and will then satisfy Rule of 85. Thank you Alan for all you have done for the Bow club and the district!
- Chris Parkinson – Thank you for those who supported his jump for Pure Water for the world.
- Dean Cascadden – Saw the smallest baby he’s ever seen, a 3 month premature baby from his nephew and his wife. Everyone is doing as well as can be expected.
- Dave Gazaway – Gave a happy buck for a great weather report tomorrow. He wanted to especially thank Bob Couch, Chuck Rheinhardt, Bob Dawkins, Gerry Carrier, and his wife Wendy for putting in all the work over the past weeks getting ready for the car show. He also hoped to have enough food tomorrow!
- Cindy Anderson – Thank you Chuck for spotting her a dollar last week, and she proudly finished her first running 5k last night at the Rock N’ Race.
- Peter Imse – Peter returned from 2 weeks in Florida with family, and got plenty of beach and baby time. His son-in-law, Joe, also safely returned from a tour of duty in the Middle East.
Raffle Winner: The note-taker neglected to record who won the raffle, but can report that the joker was not pulled. That’s a fine next week!
Program
Gerry Carrier prepped us all for a successful car show the following day. Troops were told when to rally and what still needed to be done before Saturday morning. Gerry and Dave predicted 150 and 175 cars, respectively (and would both be blown away by the final total!). A BIG thank you to Dave and Gerry for a wonderful and successful event!
