Today was a day of two "mini" programs from two of our members.
First of all, Lowell Carlson got up and spoke about his new
position with HART. He really wanted to spread the word about
all of the wonderful pets that are available right now for
adoption. The shelter has processed 1100 animals this year.
Right now there are some very cute puppies available--lab
crosses and some interesting dalmation sharpe crosses. HART is
looking for support. Many people donate food and other needed
pet supplies at this time of the year. Volunteers to help care
for the animals are always welcome. Animals are processed within
24 hours of their arrival at the shelter and are ready to go for
an adoption fee and the agreement to spay or neuter if
necessary. Then Mike Boen got up and talked
 about the radiothon
for child abuse that is scheduled for December 5-6th. WJJY, Cool
101-5 and BN93.3 will all be participating this year in the
ninth annual event. It started back in 1994 and raised $12,000.
In 2001 it was up to $60,00o from the auction, pledges and Santa
Cause supported by Cell One. Last year and this year, the
auctions have been much more exciting because of all the hard
work of Sertoman Bob Sherman and his wife Ann. Auction bidders
can go online to see an almost up to the minute idea of where
the bids are on the many fine items that have been gathered up
for sale. You can by your item or make your pledge for 24 hours
from 12 noon December 5th through noon December 6th. Go to
brainerd.com fas 829-7762 Brian Lehman and click on the icon
that will take you directly to the website with the auction
listings and lots more information. Each year Sertoma donates to
the cause but Mike is hoping that more of us will get involved
with individual pledges and auction purchases. |

Schedule |

Remember: 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 Club Treasurer (Diane Rook
Johnson) 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 Jeff Birks @
820-5544 if you can't make it.

Many thanks for the long hours of hard work that Steve Augustinack
and his daughter Megan put in over the Thanksgiving break. They
have completely reorganized the badges updating the names and
neatly put them into three boxes. Thanks too to Pam for getting
the database updated so this could be done. |

Rumor Corner |
- The dog pound continues to be the source of considerable
attention. Charlie Bartels claimed today that all they talk
about is "dogs". He also got accused of being a little too
cannabilistic when he mentioned eating the pet rabbit available
at HART for adoption.
- Mark Korte was also on a roll today. He complained because
he didn't have a plate (he was even at the meeting last week
when Tami explained that too many were wasted); and that was
after he decided he didn't know who he was when the badges
weren't at the door when he arrived.
- The proud llama grandpapa is of course Rory Coit. Lynn Franz
was proud to announce that her son has made Les a great
grandpapa this week. By the way Lynn, what did happen to that
arm?

Find a Sawbuck Corner: Call 829-7761
The FAS Program was designed to encourage people to read the newsletter. Even those who attend the meeting can benefit from reviewing the announcements etc. If you find the letters FAS followed by your name, you must call the number provided and just leave a message that you called and attend the next meeting to collect your money. Simple--however 90% of the people never respond. |
