 Dan
Meyer and Steve Augustinack presented the information about
the tech team
at today's meeting. Dan and Steve along with Jim Park formed
the nucleus of the team that set up the Sertoma web page and
spearheaded the drive which started last fall to get
everyone communicating electronically. They were later
joined by Pam Sachs who works with them as part of her duties
as a member of the newsletter and publicity committees.
The purpose of the tech committee which was
originally to set up the framework of an internal and external
web communication system, has expanded
to include maintaining a uniform updated database of members
and email advertising (see Bob Sherman or Pam Sachs if you are
interested in reaching over 100 Sertomans with your message).
Money generated through advertising and postage savings
hopefully will be earmarked for acquiring new tech tools for
the use of the club. Dan had kudos galore for the hard
work of Ann and Bob Sherman in setting up the web page and
being the focal point for all the information posted to
the pages. The tech team is hoping to incorporate
clickable email messages, choices of roster formats to print
out, and a self-updating database. They are also looking
for volunteers to collect and organize the information to fill
in the gaps. Areas that need work are committee
descriptions, history, charities, and awards. These
people would also be responsible for quarterly updates if
necessary. The last part of the program directed us to www.sertoma.org
where the national web page is under construction. If
you wish to enter to the members only section, you need to
know that our club number is 10595. (On Thursday they
presented to the Morning
Club) |

Milo Johnson presented Jeff Olson with a check for $9,602.82 to
cover the cost of a new truck to haul the Sertoma pipe and drape
trailer as well as work around Camp
Confidence. This was money earmarked some time ago
but not needed until now because of an unexpected donation of a
vehicle that.
