Schedule |
| Remember:
Greeters (Be sure to take care of your duties that include meeting
people at the door and getting the ticket money counted and
divided with half going to Tami to give away and half to Diane for
the social committee's budget). 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 and half goes to the Club President along with the
bucket of tickets. Be there by 11:45 and call somebody if you
can't. Call Patty Hartman. |

| Sertoman of
the Day |
 Kevin
Donnay was our very refreshing Sertoman of the Day today. The most
important part of his speech was his enthusiasm and pride as he
spoke of WSN and their “dream project,” The Forest View Middle
School. WSN has five offices and Kevin started their as an
architect 10 years ago and is now director of architecture. The
staff includes 10 architects and support staff of 20 interns and
technicians.He has been married for 22 years to his wife Nancy
and has two teenage daughters and a 4th grade son that he calls
“the family tension reliever”. He was born in Glencoe on a dairy
farm and an unfortunate run-in with a tornado that cause the
rebuilding of their entire farm structure got him interested in
his career. He doesn’t have any hobbies other than his family
since he views architecture not as a profession but as a way of
life.
He joined Sertoma in 1994, has outlasted his sponsor Janet
Horn, and hopes to get more involved in Sertoma committees and
structure when he has a bit more time in his life. He is happy to
be in a club that does a lot of good things but is patient with
members as they tend to careers and family. |
