 Board
Report
Treasurer conversion to online Quickbooks is
continuing to be a challenge. Darren Larson has got
things to a clearer point.
Camp Confidence Classic Golf Tournament--Mark Korte
proposed a Sertoma team and a Sertoma Hole.
Mark Korte will present four scholarships from
Sertoma to high school seniors on May 4th.
Restorative Justice received sponsorship money. It
was discussed to support the Sertoma teams in
charity events such as the Good Samaritan Bowl and
Relay for Life. There was some concern about
precedence and establishing guidelines. It was
decided to give each Sertoma team in these events
$100.
One flag route still needs a captain. It is the 80
flag Washington Route. Some questions were brought
up about buying flag installation equipment for the
club. The storage of the equipment as well as the
high initial cost may make continuing to rent a more
viable option.
Mark proposed laying out a yearly calendar that will
allow better utilization of Sertoman time. The
volunteer schedule is a big issue especially from
the administrative point of view.
Some trailer repair for Pipe and Drape was approved.
The Brainerd Area Sertoma Club will have business
cards to gIve to people for our various fund raising
events. The number will connect to an automated
individual chairman's voicemail. The messages will
then be immediately turned into an e mail to the
chairperson.
If you are interested in being on the ballot for at
-large board members contact Mark Korte or Steve
Mau. |

As greeter you have several duties. You need to arrive about 10
minutes early. It is your job to greet people, help them find
their badges and sell them a ticket if they wish to participate.
The money collected must be divided by the Greeters equally--half
goes to the Current Club Treasurer for the social committee and
half goes to the Club President along with the bucket of tickets.
Be there by 11:45 and call somebody to substitute for you if you
can't be there. |

Happy 40th Anniversary Confidence Learning Center!Forty years
ago today a dream became a reality for Camp’s founder, Dick
Endres. We’re celebrating 40 years of Confidence serving more
than 10,000 camper days each year and providing opportunities
for persons of all ages with developmental disabilities to reach
higher levels of self-esteem and self-confidence. And one of the
main focuses of their experience at Camp is to have FUN!Thank
you Dick, donors and supporters, board of directors, staff,
volunteers and Campers for making Confidence Learning Center
what it is today! Jeff Olson, Executive Director (Reprented from
Confidence E News)

President Korte expressed his regrets that some people may have
been offended by being asked to pay a fine for not participating
in Pipe and Drape when in fact some of the people who received
these awards had to pay that fine. The issue that the club needs
to consider is not so much who is offended as who is not
participating in any of the fund raising activities. This is a
dual purpose club--however the networking side is much less
important than our dedication to raising money for community
needs. It Is sad that a club with so many members cannot find a
way to keep all the wonderful programs that we currently have
established. However, this idea of cutting programs has been
discussed and will be a focus for the next few months. |

- Happy Earth Day!
- Welcome back Chester (Kari S. limped into Sertoma)
- Bryan Jelinski is sporting his summer "Do" NICE BUZZ JOB!!
Its a chick magnet and a guy magnet--at least Mark thought so.
- At least thirty people said hi to the late Jeff Olson--he
didn't die just walked in the door too late not to be noticed.
- Handsome Dick Stoltman took pictures today--our Prez
couldn't figure out he was the handsome one at the end of Pam's
table without a little help from the peanut gallery also known
as the Dogpound.
- Steve Mau encouraged everyone to bring their friends next
week--we had a light attendance perhaps due to Administrative
Assistant's Day.
- Dave Clausen was accused of being the "snappiest dresser".
Charlie Bartels claims he bought the fancy suit that Clausen is
wearing.
- The hecklers got a little risque about the Chairman of the
Board choking ON his chicken.
- Todd Alguire needs to use his new pen to make more closing
work for Bill
- Bill fined Brenda Kelley for selling too good a ham for
Easter.
- Gary Loge got accused of bringing a brace to get out of
Winter Wonderland take down.
- Jim Grant was accused of acting "guilty" when someone called
him James--must be what his Mom called him when he was bad.
- Who stayed overnight at the Brenny funeral home and wasn't
there for cosmetic work?
- LoAnn and Karla squeezed Bryan J between them and got the
"feeling up the sergeant fine"
- Kathi Nagorski got accused of having a Joe Schulte Man
Harem"--see blackmail pictures for proof.
- Darren Larson's new nickname is Lazarus--he was a dead
treasurer brought back to life.
