Program
Carole Paulson of Carole Paulson Accounting was todayıs speaker, representing the Paul Bunyan Toastmasters Club. The club meets every Friday at noon at the Sawmill Inn. The goal of club members is to improve their speaking and listening skills including Parliamentary Procedure. It is a valuable tool for any one who would like to succeed in business because people that move up are people with good communication skills. The meetings are both educational and fun . They start with jokes, the word of the day and the "Toastmaster of the Day" who is in charge of the meeting. Both planned speakers and "table talk" impromptu speeches are part of the agenda with evaluation by the members. Come and join this club where communication is unlimited.

Note
Jerry Losey, International President of the Sertoma Clubs, joined members of Camp Confidence Sertoma on January 21, 1999 for the orientation of all the new members of this new Brainerd area club, one of the largest charter clubs in the history of Sertoma The meeting was held in conjunction with the Jaycees $100,000 Ice Fishing Tournament and the group was also preparing subs to be sold the following day on the ice. Jerry was looking forward to the ice fishing experience which is rare in Monument, Colorado where he makes his home. He commented, "I intend to get out on the ice and try to keep warm while selling those sandwiches".  Camp Sertoma hoped to raise about $7400 with the sales. That represents about 1/3 of the budget for seven weeks of summer camp for hearing impaired children this coming summer. The rest of the budget hopefully will be produced by a Sertoma Club Double Dollar raffle which should raise about $15,000 when paired with foundation money. 

Jerry Losey and Dave Burggraff Jerry got involved with Sertoma about 16 years ago. He took office on September of 1999. Working with Jon Haapajoki on the International Board made him aware of Camp Sertoma from its beginnings and he enthusiastically accepted Dave Burggraff's invitation to visit the wonderful Brainerd area that he heard described so often in his discussions with Jon. Dave is the president of the Camp Sertoma Club and a Governor of the North Minnesota District.
