 Linda
Anderson joined Sertomans today at Bonanza at noon for the last
meeting to be held before the holidays. Since both Christmas and
New Years fall on Wednesday this year, the next meeting will not
take place until January 8th. If you have not made your
reservations for the holiday party at the Old Waterfall, please
take the time to contact Kari Robinson and do so now. Linda is a
former Sertoma member who wanted to encourage us to participate
in the Angels for Erica fundraiser that we heard about a few
weeks ago. Erika Dalquist has been missing since October and her
family is attempting to raise the money to provide a $10,000
reward leading to information about her disappearance. Linda
shared the beautiful bracelets that are available. All Sertomans
received an order form via email and if you have lost that one
and want another go to www.erikaismissing.com where they are
available. Linda took the opportunity to thank Pam Sachs who
worked with her developing the order form which would work for
both the email and the webpage. She also thanked all the
Sertomans who have contributed to this effort. |

Monica Dukowitz, our waitress was the recipient of our annual tip
which was collected in the form of the quarters and additional
donations. |

Most valuable lesson learned at this meeting--under no conditions
should anyone allow David Pundt to hold the microphone while the
speaker or the president. fas 829-7761 Jeff Deihl |

The largest Sertoma Club in existence was the Kansas City Club
that had its high point of 352 members. Sertoma trivia was a topic
of conversation after Rory Coit announced the need for some
committee members who are willing to work on developing our very
own 25th anniversary party for the club next year. |
Some new ideas put into effect at today's meeting that came out of
the last board meeting included:
- No shows who sign up for social events and forget to take
their name off the list, will be billed for the cost of the
event.
Our new agenda will be: brief announcements, speaker, quarters
and tickets, and fines last.
Badges will be collected in a separate bucket handed around the
table rather than as part of the fines. This will allow more
time for them to be put back in the boxes.
- Turn in your ticket money for the Fish House Raffle to Julie
Sullivan. Rory has gotten tickets handed out well including many
at businesses in the community. This is a quick way for the club
and builders to make $5,000. So in the month of January, plan on
sell sell sell those raffle tickets. Thanks again Ace Hardware
and Dan Holmes for the opportunity to display them in your
parking lot starting this Friday.
- Raffle tickets make great last minute Christmas presents for
people still on your list.

Reminder: If you signed up for Vision and Hearing Screening be
sure it is on your calendar for Jan 2 or 3rd. fas 829-7761 Brenda

See Rory Coit for fish house tickets to sell. Thank you
Julie Sullivan for volunteering to collect tickets and money and
keep track of the fund-raiser. Remember we only have until January
22 to get these sold. Hopefully they will be on display at Ace
Hardware (thanks Dan Holmes) before Christmas and flyers with
pictures will be available for ticket sellers. |

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 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.

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.
