Two of our members were featured today at Sertoma rather than
bringing in a program. |
|
|
 Our
main speaker was Tami Webb who was on one of her official “visits”
to the Brainerd Noon Sertoma Club in her capacity as District
Governor. Tami shared news from the North Minnesota District which
is the largest one in Sertoma.
We are still the largest Sertoma Club in the World with 175
members; but not by much—Sioux Falls is only a few members behind.
Let’s go out and invite some new members into our club. Bemidji
Sertoma, sponsored by our Club, is having some troubles keeping
their members; they are back down to 15 and struggling.
Hopefully
their new pipe and drape program will help them promote
membership. Tami explained what her job entailed and invited
everyone to participate in upcoming conventions.
 She was wearing her “famous” extremely large governor’s coat
which belonged to her mentor, Mr. Sertoma-Jon Haappajoki. Tami
feels that her success in Sertoma is directly related to Jon’s
influence. Dave Burggraph and Mike Howard represented the Camp
Sertoma Club and accepted the $1.000 donation made from the North
Minnesota District. |

Brian Lehman talked about the bell ringing contest. First he
thanked everyone who rang bells. He explained that all of the
volunteer hours ( 423 Service Club, 295 Businesses, 185 Churches,
and 140 Independent) totaled 950 hours and reduced the percentage
of paid ringers needed to 9 %. The Army raised $94,000 for local
causes. |

contribution to the Shoes for Haiti Fund. Tom and his wife
work hard each year to raise $10,000 to help 2000 kids get
shoes so that they can walk to school. They have been involved
in this mission for several years and appreciate all of the
help Sertomans have been in making this possible. |

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. |
