 The program at today’s Sertoma was a mishmash of things. It
included a long presentation by Mike Howard of the cook’s at
Camp Sertoma. This year 2432 meals had to be prepared for the 85
kids and staff that are there for the weeklong format. Sertomans
from New Ulm, Sauk Rapids, Northfield, St. James and Brainerd.
The group also entertained us with a camp song. Then Gary
reported on his attendance at the Governor’s conference. At the
present time Sioux Falls has 179 members to our 177 (with the
addition of Jeremy Horn and Tracy McFarland at today’s meeting).
He reminded us that we are members of the biggest region in the
country. One of the goals of Tom Brush incoming president is to
try and correct the national trend towards loss of membership.
His theme is 9, 9 new members for every club to reach 1,000. The
other major goal fas 829-7761 Gary Loge is to streamline with
the combination of smaller clubs, districts and regions. He then
got one of his little demonstrations going to talk about the
purpose of Sertoma: business networking, raise money for good
causes, learn more about local issues, help communities, enjoy
social events and develop friendships. |

official greeters on hand. Thanks Kristine Welle, Kevin Wroolie and Tami

Rumors were flying at today’s meeting. Does Pam really have a job
selling pull tabs at Ernie’s? Does Karla dance part time at the
Blue Ox? Did Brian Kirkpatrick leave early because he lost all his
friends? Did Paul Gropper go on the Builder’s fishing trip without
a license? Is Dale Bolt really too selfish to share his pepper? |

 This is the Mumble Choir Leader (the group of cooks from Camp
Sertoma) in action. They purported to be serious rivals for the
Swinging Sertomans but probably need a little more practice time
to catch up. This wonderful guy had some little girl at camp come
with her camera to get her picture taken with Santa Claus. |

Mike Boen and Jim Potvin for having lunch at Breezy Point today

one, plus all new members. |

Rookies, remember to introduce yourself to the executive
officers--president, vice presidents, secretary, treasurer. If
they do not remember your name and greet you, they must pay a $1
fine. |

Thanks Grand Casino for the donation of a hot tub suite. If you
bring in a new member this quarter your name goes in the hat and
you will be eligible to win this prize. We need to work very hard
to get more new members. Gary is still planning on paying big
bucks if his weight loss doesn't meet the number of new members. |

Philosophy:
According to Dale Bolt “Some of us just show up and some of us
come prepared." |

According to Dave Clausen “Due to economic conditions the light at
the end of the tunnel has been temporarily turned off:" |

Find a Sawbuck Corner:
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. |
