 With an imaginary drum roll and a flourish, President Tami Webb
introduced a very special guest at today's Noon Sertoma meeting.
Dick Endres, founder of Camp Confidence was pleased to come up
to the podium and give us a bit of history to launch our
year-long 25th anniversary celebration. Dick was very
instrumental in the founding of the original club even though he
has never been a member. He also dipped his hand into the golden
barrel of tickets and came up with the lucky four winners of the
Ultimate Fishhouse contest. Other special guests included Randy
Rider from R R Handyman, Tom Martin from 3WI, and Coleen Faacks
from Mid Minnesota Builders. The first place house buiilt by R R
Handyman went to Rodney Schmaltz. ABC Semless and Simonson
Lumber built their house for Brent Hoheisel. Hawk and his crew
at Dreambuilder's Construction put together a fine effort for
Ron Koering. And finally, Lakes Area Kinetico's well built house
went to the only lady in the crew, Cindy Halbeck. A special
thanks goes to Dan Holmes and the crew at Ace Hardware who not
only displayed the houses but sold over 1,000 tickets.
 The
second portion of the program introduced Julia Sullivan to those
of us who have not already made her acquaintance. She talked
about herself and her 25 years of experience with Godfather's
Pizza. She moved to the Brainerd area last year from Mason City,
Iowa, because of the opportunity to own her own business. She is
sponsoring Sertoma Night right before that elusive grand opening
for those of us who were smart enough to keep our business cards
that she handed out at one of the first meetings she attended.
She will be glad to provide new members with a card also. She
gave away some cute keychains and certificates for pizza after
she encouraged us to take advantage of the Godfather's
fundraiser. Pizza certificates that sell for $10 (especially
popular at Christmas time) and earn the club $3 for every sale
would be an option for our group at any time. Winners of free
pizza included: Janelle Reilly, Tami Webb, Lori Redmond, LoAnn
Reponen, Chuck Bartels, Brian Kirkpatrick, Lowell Carlson, Reed
Campbell and Dave Bergin. Amy Doyle who was just accepted as a
new member from the Grand Casino , donated some prizes as well.
Lowell Carlson is going to the Teen Idols concert on February
7th thanks to the Grand Casino. Deb Ryan and Dave Bergin fas
829-7761 Chuck Whalen won coupons for 12 hour ice house rental
on Mille Lacs Lake. Brian Lehman brought in a beautiful Lakes
Country Journal Calendar that will grace Charlie Bartels wall. |

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 Club Treasurer (Diane Rook
Johnson) 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 Jeff Birks @
820-5544 if you can't make it.

Rumor Corner |
- Who wants to change her name to Veronica on the radio (maybe
she wants to star in a remake of the Archie cartoons?)
- Are Deb Ryan and Dave Bergin going ice fishing together?
- Is Charlie Bartels going to win the lottery next--Mr. Lucky?
- Brian Lehman is a clone--he has two badges so there must be
two of him. Pam Sachs was extremely grateful for just one of him
selling fishing tickets for the Jaycees and Camp Confidence on
Saturday morning. Fas 829-7761 Joyce Seymour. We sold every
single ticket we had--a record for the Triangle.

Find a Sawbuck Corner: Call 829-7761
The FAS Program was designed to encourage people to read the newsletter. Even those who attend the meeting can benefit from reviewing the announcements etc. If you find the letters FAS followed by your name, you must call the number provided and just leave a message that you called and attend the next meeting to collect your money. Simple--however 90% of the people never respond. |
