Ocelco representative Ken Lacy was at Sertoma today to invite everyone to participate in this tournament which will be held on September 29th with an 11 a.m. Shotgun start. The fee is $75, $35 of which will be donated to Camp Confidence where Mark was a long time participant in the Classic Golf Tournaments.

Ken also explained that they hold a prize raffle and last year they gave away $1500 worth of prizes that helped the cause. He would also appreciate any donations from companies or individuals of raffle items. Pine Ridge Golf Course

Sertoman of the Day
Sertoman of the Day - Sue SlaybaughSue Slaybaugh who recently joined Sertoma under the auspices of Joe Schulte was today's honored member.

Sue works for Integra Telecom in its Baxter Office. Although the company employs 11,000 people and is located in 8 states, it prides itself on full customer service in its local offices and in it support of the local community. Sue has been with the company for a year as an account executive for the Brainerd, Baxter, and Little Falls area. She previously managed a sales office for a sun tan products company.

Sue and her husband Bob came to the Brainerd area together when he got his job at Confidence Learning Center 17 years ago. They have one four year old son pictured with her and Sue's hobbies include scrap-booking and family hunting, fishing, and camping expeditions.

From the glint in Trevor's eye, you can see that Sue has her hands full with this little guy who loves pirates, ice cream and his mom. Sue's most embarrassing moment occurred at her wedding when her husband arranged an most unusual "tip" for the band. Everyone is suppose to ask Bob's boss, the illustrious Mr. Olson, how he missed the show. Thanks Sue for bringing your many skills in community service from Jaycees to Sertoma.

Of Note
It is children's prayer week. We hope that Cheryal Lee Hills son Nathan makes a full recover from his jet ski accident.
Erica and Ty Eigner's 4 year old son Peter has been diagnosed with stomach cancer. Over $400 was collected at the meeting to help the family out and anyone who was not present who wishes to make a donation can do so at the Civic Center or Northern National Bank. Peter has his own web site that you can check our at http://www.petereigner.Com.
Our sympathies go out to former Sertoma member Jim Potvin on the loss of his father.
