Tami
Lueck, Executive Director from the Bridges of Hope was
today's speaker. Bridges is a faith based 501C that was
established to partner church resources with community
organizations. They served 1400 households and over 2,000
children last year. They attempt to reach families and
provide help before they fall into total crises that
oftentimes results in domestic violence, child abuse, and
loss of job and income. Some of their programs include
Crisis Nursery, Financial Resources, Mental Health Programs
and Parent Support Outreach. Tami encouraged us to become
involved by continuing our financial support as a group,
including more individual contributions if possible, and
continuing to recommend the service to those in need. Tami
herself has 15 years of experience dealing with families in
crisis and is very positive about the overwhelming need for
these services in the area. She would also like to encourage
you to attend their fundraiser event at Prairie Bay in
September. Bridges is developing a new program called
Circles of Support that is nationally recognized.
Luke
Schumer was a very good sport about standing up and filling in
for his wife who had actually volunteered to be Sertoman of the
Day. Luke and Rachel do not have any children, but they have a
new dog and a new house. Luke is a farm boy from St. Stephens
who's claim to fame was being part of the 2003 National Champion
St. Johns Football team. He did have ambitions to be a college
football coach, but then moved into the financial world by
joining Ameriprise Financial in the Twin Cities. He took the
first opportunity to move outstate and came to Brainerd in 2007.
His office is in Baxter and consists of him, a partner, and
three employees. Luke's hobbies of course include being a sports
fanatic but he is also a volunteering fanatic. He joined Sertoma
to exercise that skill and meet people in the area. His sponsor
was Paul Keprios. His most embarrassing moment involved a
stranded pontoon, swimming naked, and motion lights!!
Welcome
back Les Franz, we have certainly missed you. Les is scheduled
for his knee operation August 29th. He brought Lucy with him and
took the opportunity to express his gratitude for all the
support from the Club. Karla Nelson also returned today.
Congratulations Carole Paulsen, another new grandbaby and
another boy. Thank you's were presented from Youth as Resources
for help with Battle of the Bands and from the Baxter Police
Department for our contribution to the police dog fund.
