Saturday evening I attended the Lou Athanas Free-Throw Fundraising Event at MMS and it was a blast.

We had a good turn-out even though we were missing a few Councilors and School Board members. Margie Kerns from the School Board was the big winner in the challenge. She and Joe Cormier made 29 free-throws out of 50 and Joe asked for a "shoot-out" to determine the overall winner. They each took another 5 shots and, while Joe missed all of his shots Margie made three more.

This is an annual event and I am looking forward to next year's challenge. I will be practicing my shot so I can get better than 50% next time.

This is the article as it appeared in today's Laconia Daily Sun.

As the Vice-President of the Lou Athanas Youth Basketball League and a member of the Laconia City Council I will be participating in this event.

I have a Sponsor Sign-Up sheet for pledging donations, but I can't get the sheet around to everyone before the event.

If you would like to sponsor me in this event you may reply to this posting or contact me through my e-mail at greg@knytych.net. I only need your name, phone # and the amount you wish to pledge.

You can either pledge a specific total dollar amount to donate or you can pledge a certain amount of money per shot that I make.

The money will be collected during the week of February 11^th.

I would also encourage you to attend this event because it will be a lot of fun.

Thank You for your support.
