Highlights from the Board Meeting. |
- Membership remains the same-we gained and lost two members
- Sign up for annual dues—will be collected once a year in
June
- Future issue—should we have a hospitality suite at Regional
Convention to promote our bid for the 2008 Convention
- Sertoma will pay $100 towards the $130 cost of the Regional
Convention May 5-7 in Aberdeen. Tami Webb reported that many
great activities are planned; the whole hotel will be Sertoma
members. It was also voted to pay $100 toward any members of the
Bemidji Club who wish to attend to encourage them to become more
involved.
- Working on a mutual agreement with Bemidji to expand Pipe
and Drape—they would acquire their own set and we could share
for big shows. Right now they will be using our equipment this
summer to see if it is feasible there.
- The lights group will have a presentation at a noon meeting
soon. We must decide if we wish to go ahead with this project
that has been very financially rewarding to all the clubs we
have checked.
- Flag billing will go out in March.
- $8,000 of pre budgeted items were approved including $4000
to the school district, three five hundred dollar scholarships
for high school seniors, and some hearing aid assistance.

 Thanks
to all the members of the social committee especially Diane
Ulmen who had the responsibility of catering the event. A good
time was had by all—see pictures and features in the rumor
column. “One of the most fun parties I have attended. So much
audience participation,” remarked Rory Coit. “I know I had too
much fun,” said VP Dave Clausen. Pictures are also up on the
MSN Site-see link below. |
| May 5 - 7 Regional Convention
in Aberdeen S.D. Please plan on attending this event that
has many special events. Tami Webb gave a presentation in her
capacity as District Governor and noting that we will be
making our bid for the 2008 Convention. We actually have two
proposals—one to host locally and one to host on a cruise. |

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. |

Sheila
Redding’s favorite song is now “Whatever Sheila Wants, Sheila
Gets”. See photo of Sheila being serenaded by the group.
Andy
(Edith Bunker) Holmes is headed to Hollywood to participate in the
Edith Bunker Sing Alike Contest. She will win, hands down.
Beer
keg rolling was not an Olympic event during the day but might have
happened later on during the Party. Someone accused Diane Ulmen of
being to handy with the beverage pitchers.
