Hello fellow Rotarians,
 
After our participation at the Fireworks Festival last week, it seems pretty slow this week.
 
Remember, your response to the Community Survey’s is due today.
 
I hope you are all working on Raffle Party ticket sales but equally important is we will need donations to support the raffle.  You don’t necessarily have to make these donations personally, just look for friends, neighbors and town organizations who might have something to offer.  The best prizes frequently have more value in the thought than in the expense, so give it some thought.
 
Rotary Day at the Eastern States Exposition "Big E" will be Friday, September 23 which is New Hampshire Day with many special events taking place at the New Hampshire Building.  It is also the 100th Anniversary of the Fair.  Discounted tickets will be available for $12. each until Sept 15 when you can pay Don Upton.  After the meeting on Thursday morning Sept 15, Don will meet with all that are going and review details of the trip, plan carpooling, etc..  Go to the Big E web site (THEBIGE.com) for a listing of all the events and contact Don for information at  DonaldUpton@msn.com.
 
This week’s meeting will be our last of the year at the Shattuck.  As our speaker, Susan Emerson will fill us in on what is happening in NH Government.
 
We have no meeting next week because of the Labor Day Holiday and will be back at FPU the following week.  Hard to believe our summer season is over.
 
Yours in service,
Rotarian Banghart
