The Club’s 50th Anniversary dinner celebration was held last Saturday evening to a crowd of about 76 people — members of the club as well as visiting club members and dignitaries at the State and International levels. A slide show of past memories played through the cocktail hour which was followed by a delicious dinner prepared by Curt’s Caterers.
After the dinner three new members were inducted into the club: Michelle and Christopher Shipp and John Menken. Mike and Kate Lancor were their sponsors.
Pins for continuubg membership in the Moultonborough Club were awarded for 5, 10, 15, 20 and 40 years.
Anne Forts received the Granite State Fellowship Award. Pat Strickland received a Progressive (for an individual who has received this honor at least once in the past) Granite State Fellowship Award.
Between Friday, October 17 and Friday, October 25 Lions Club members stamped, affixed labels and postage stamps, and stuffed over 6,000 envelopes containing raffle tickets and an explanatory letter. Several people who could not attend either event, stamped envelopes at home and others attended both AND stamped at home. I believe there were 14 or 15 Lions on the first day for over 2,000 envelopes and 12 lions the second Friday for over 4,000 envelopes! Let’s hope that all this effort is rewarded by a fantastic return so that the Club can continue to give scholarships and donations. Also, a great BIG THANKS to all the people who helped and to those we hope will answer the letters with a contribution.

The more people who volunteer to help, the more fun and the quicker we can accomplish the task.
