Program
Bob Slaybaugh, who wears many hats including his work with Camp Sertoma spoke to the group about the JayCees $100,000 Fishing Extravaganza. This is the 10th anniversary of this great fund-raising and community development project. Bob talked about the national and international recognition the project has gotten in such faraway places as England and Germany and here at home most recently in Field and Stream magazine. Bob especially thanked all the Sertomans who have been involved both as volunteers and business people.  "This fishing tournament is successful only because it takes place in the Brainerd Lakes Area," said Bob. He continued, "You couldnąt do this tournament in Minneapolis or anywhere else".
Terry Hermanson and Linda KaufmannTerry Hermanson and Linda Kaufmann, Sertoma Rising Award Winners, flank Bob Slaybaugh, the speaker for today's meeting. Bob told us about his 9 year involvement with this great project that was declared the number one community development project in the nation last year. He thanked all the Sertomans who have been involved over the years both as volunteers and business contributors.
