Every spring the Brainerd Noon Sertoma Club sponsors the
National Heritage Essay Contest for elementary students. A
typical contest gets well over 200 entries from fifth graders
throughout the district which are judged by a volunteer team of Sertomans. The 2002 Sertomans who judged the essays included
Chairman Bruce Heilman, Reed Campbell, Robert Ehrich, Sandra
Ehrich, Keith Lunneborg, Brenda Meech, Karen Owen, Jim Potvin,
Pam Sachs and Elyssa Weber. The topic was "When is freedom worth
fighting for?" First place winner Devin Larson who is in Mr.
Koehler's class at Baxter received a $100 savings bond which was
matched by Liberty Savings Bank. Stephanie Morgan who attends
Lincoln and wrote her essay for Mrs. Younghans received a total
of $150 in savings bonds. Third place winner Katie Klasky was
the proud recipient of $100. Her teacher is Mrs. Warren at
Baxter. Teachers and parents were honored guests at the Sertoma
meeting on March 20th to hear the winners read their essays. The
committee also awards several honorable mentions based on the
number of entries. A matching cash prize of $20 is included for
these winners. Honorable mention went to Whitney Joyce (Mr.
Koehler-Baxter), Emmet Umlauf (Mrs. Sauer-Riverside), Jesse
Anderson (Mrs. Gardner-Lowell) Taryn Ruttger (Ms.
Ziegler/Hodgson-Nisswa), Kaylee Gill (Mr. Anderson-Baxter)Ronald
Enno (Mrs. Larson-Harrison) and Travis Boyd (Mrs. Agre-Baxter).
The top three essays are published in the Brainerd Daily
Dispatch along with photos. Both Sertoma and Liberty Savings
Bank believe that encouraging young people to value their
community is an important part of service to mankind. |

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. |
