SUMMER MEETING '95 



PLEASANT 

 VIEW— AUGUST 



4 — The day was 

 cloudy, with a 

 promise of thunderstorms, but this 

 year, the clouds were welcome 

 because they kept the heat down. 

 It was a full day with a good turn- 

 out and plenty of vendors. Mem- 

 bers had a chance to tour Pleasant 

 View (people who hadn't been 

 there in awhile were surprised at 

 how much it had grownl and 

 Millican next door was welcoming 

 visitors as well. In addition, a 

 PPGA Geranium Seminar, with par- 

 ticipants and breeders coming 

 from around the country, was be- 

 ginning at Pleasant View that after- 

 noon. So members had a chance 

 to meet these people as well. 



At noon, Perillo's offered another 

 of its all-you-can-eat barbecues 

 and after lunch, at our annual auc- 

 tion, Peter Callioras, of Auction 

 Professionals, once again success- 

 fully raised the money that be- 

 comes the NHPGA scholarship fund. 



The big door prize, the balloon 

 ride for two, was won by loan 

 Dedman of Woodinville, Washing- 

 ton, one of the PPGA Seminar par- 

 ticipants, who generously donated it 



to the scholarship 

 fund. So it was 

 auctioned off — 

 with the result be- 

 ing that on some clear day, Dave 

 Murray and his invited guest will 

 be riding the air currents high 

 above us all and seeing New 

 Hampshire from a unique perspec- 

 tive. 



Daniel English, of lolly Farmer 

 Products, won the radio and lackie 

 Gosselin, the Ball Red Book. 



Once again, there are many 

 people to thank. Heading the list 

 would be our hosts, |on, |eff, and 

 Henry Huntington. Others would 

 be Chris Robarge, who handled 

 registration; the Board members 

 who helped with publicity and or- 

 ganization; Rick Perillo, for the fine 

 meal and for the contribution to 

 our scholarship fund, Peter 

 Callioras, our excellent auctioneer; 

 and all the vendors who contrib- 

 uted merchandise to the auction. 



Next year, New Hampshire will 

 be hosting the NENA Summer 

 Meeting. Date and place are still 

 to be announced, but once again 

 summer will be the time to visit 

 with friends and meet new people.
