| Program |
| Kim Wear (otherwise known as Stella) a local Sertoman was
our speaker. She represented the Susan B. Komen
Foundation and gave us information about the Race for Cure
which will be held in Brainerd on July 1st. Brainerd is
a brand-new affiliate of this international organization that
has 35,000 members and 112 groups like ours. Their
mission is to find a cure for breast cancer by funding
research, screening, education and treatment. By 1998
they had raised $210 million. Money raised in the local
race which may attract as many as 1,000 contestants (business
can help with sponsorships, donations and gifts in kind)
basically stay in the area with only 25% going for national
efforts. Bonnie Cumberland is the honorary chair of the
event which will require 150 volunteers on race day. If
you are interested in working with the group, meet at the
Brainerd Library at from 5:30-6:30 on January 25th or call
Kim. |

 Kim
(Stella) Wear gave a short but very well-prepared speech
which informed the group about the Susan G. Komen Race
for a Cure. This 36 year old woman died of breast
cancer and the foundation founded by her sister in her
honor has grown so much that they are not accepting any
new affiliates until they "get caught up". |

Sertoman of the Day
|
|
 We
didn't have a Sertoman of the day, but that gave Milo the chance
to present Brian Skogen with a lifetime membership. This
award is part of his election as last year's Sertoman of the
Year.

Double Dollar Ticket Winners are drawn but
they are still looking for the last of the tickets before they
can announce them. Jon
Haapojoki memorial got two mentions at the meeting. The Morning
Club wants our help
with the Lift A Thon and will donate proceeds to the memorial
fund. We are leaving Jon's
name in the Pot'O'Gold and if it is drawn, will give
the money to Camp Sertoma.
