 |
| Today's program consisted of an opportunity to meet
several of the newly inducted members. Sertoma needs the
energy and drive that new members bring to our organization
and we welcome them all and encourage them to dive right in
and get involved. |
| |
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| We began with Kristin Larsen who transferred into her position in TV
Advertising with Charter Media from Oregon. She is a native
Minnesotan who is married with two children and she joined Sertoma
because she heard wonderful things about it from Trent Baumann who
she replaced. |
Sue Slaybaugh is about to be a Jaycees graduate and she was
looking for a new home in a service club. She chose ours because
of her long association with the group since she and her husband
Bob moved to the area 17 years ago because of his new job with
Confidence Learning Center. They have one son. Sue is an account
executive with Integra. |
Cathy Picek is with the Chamber of Commerce and she says she began
her migration north 8 years ago from New Prague. Her husband is
still commuting there to finish his stint as city manager which he
hopes to retire from soon. Her previous work had something to do
with lingerie but she is the Events and Communication Coordinator
for the Chamber. |
 |
 |
 |
| Aaron Meester joined Sertoma to get involved in the community and
meet new people. He and his wife live in Little Falls and he
commutes to Bremer Bank where his position is Business Banker.
Aaron will go into detail next week since he volunteered to be
Sertoman of the Day. |
Matt Hennekin is in the family insurance business, Dittmer
Insurance. One of his employees is a long time Sertoma member
Lowell Carlson who actually got Matt's father involved in the
insurance business many years ago. Matt commutes from Buckman. He
is married and has two children. |
Tom Krekow and his wife Anna are involved in Contemporary
Photography under the auspicies of Aaron Thomas Photography. His
wife is originally from Brainerd hence to move back to the lakes
area from dull and boring Kansas City. |
 |
|
|
| Andy Isackson is following along in his dad's footsteps. He was
afraid with his long history with dog pound, he might be in
trouble but everyone has welcomed him in spite of this. Andy works
at CTC. He remembers his early involvement with Sertoma helping
with the ditch picks. |

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. |

people, two associated with construction in some way and one
independent entrepreneur. Click on Pam's email address at the
bottom of your newsletter notification and send in your guesses
to win the $43 bucks!!!! Vote by next week--remember a nickle a
dime or a quarter counts as a vote but the sergeants will fine
you at least a buck for not voting!!!
-
Congratulations to Grandpa Korte--his new grandson is in
children's hospital but is expected to be home soon and just
fine.
-
Inquiring minds want to know if Charlie Bartels does his rain
dances with or without clothes.

Dave Burggraff got fined for trying to own the streets.
-
Our own mad hugger Jinny Haugen was fined for PDA and then asked
if that was a Help-U-Sell selling tactic.
-
Paul Gropper paid a "You Know" fine. Unfortunately we didn't get
the rest of the story.
-
Our intrepid sergeant Bill Goers didn't fine himself but did
share his naked accordion story--not quite up to the Barbi Doll
Foot in the Ear story but close.
