 Dave Burggraff had the
pleasure of presenting Randy Phillips to the group as the
Sertoman of the Year. Randy was cited for his impressive
leadership goals as president which included making our club
the biggest one in the Great Plains Region. Another
significant accomplishment was his involvement in the
chartering of the new Camp Sertoma Club.  Randy's local
activities have been paired with district and regional
participation as well. Randy was joined by his wife Nancy and
his daughter, Nicole who proudly watched him accept the plaque
and the standing ovation that went with it. Randy has been a
member since 1989. Randy
is pictured with his daughter Nicole who has gotten him
involved in Kamp Kimchee. Nicole is adopted and this Kamp is
held for Korean adoptees.) Reed Campbell proudly announced the Rookie of the Year, Jim
Potvin. Jim works at St. Joseph's hospital and has
accomplished much in his short time with Sertoma. Reed
mentioned the many activities Jim has participated in
including set-ups for pipe and drape, ditch pick, senior
citizen center wall bashing, the rookie party, and almost
every activity the club has organized since he has
joined.

Sertoman of the Day
|
Kent Hardenbrook spoke to the group as Sertoman of the Day. Kent is a chiropractor who married with an 8 year old daughter and a 1 1/2 year old son. He was born in Hartford, Connecticut and ended up in the Brainerd Area because he met his wife (a local girl) while serving in the army in Germany. His most embarrassing moment involved a lecture to a group of teenagers and a
"bounce" dryer sheet placed strategically up his
sleeve --abracadabra. Kent's dream for the future is to raise healthy happy children.
