Schedule |
| |
| 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 Current Club
Treasurer 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 Patty Hartman. |

| Sertoman of
the Day |

Many apologies to today’s Sertoman of the Day Val Fiksdal with
Ikon Office Solutions. Pam seems to have a problem spelling her
name and apologizes. Val was shared the story of how she decided
to name her daughter Selby—a very romantic story about where she
was living when she met her husband, Jason. Her hometown is Eau
Claire, Wisconsin, and she attended college in Duluth. She
originally joined Sertoma to network and make new friends and her
sponsor was Joe Schulte. Ikon Office Solutions is basically about
copiers, printers and fax machines but Val wanted to emphasize
that she is here to advise people about document management
solutions as well. She told us about her college experiences in
Sweden and how embarrassing it was to read a poorly translated
(into Swedish) essay written for her class in front of her new
boyfriend’s Swedish family. |

The Flag Committee is gearing up for next year and looking for new
members willing to go out and sell more flags. This highly
successful fund raiser continues to expand thanks to the hard work
of Beth Burnard and Mike Howard. |

|
- Val Fiksdal, the new language of love expert (President
Clausen)
- Paul n Pooch fines were paid today. Santa didn’t think that
two meetings qualified Paul Koering to include himself as “we”
in the dog pound.
- Trent Broomball Baumann fined everyone who hadn’t done
enough bell ringing so Paul Gropper got to be Santa Clause
instead of Scrooge.
- Sincerest Holiday wishes to all of Sertoma Land!!!
