 “Beautiful,” “welcoming” and “warm and inviting” were some of
the Noon Sertoma members reaction to the newly expanded YMCA
facilities as presented by Natalie Saatoff, Resource and
Marketing Director. Natalie’s presentation was three fold. She
put up an excellent board display, showed us a wonderful video
about the 150th Anniversary of the YMCA, and then presented
“what’s new” at the Brainerd facility. Natalie came to this job
6 months ago from 12 years in a similar position in St. Paul.
May13-19th is a special celebration of the new facility with
excellent opportunities for joining with bonuses. Visit the new
administrative office off the beautiful lobby and sign up to use
the aquatic center, the multi-purpose studio for exercise or
bring the kids in to see what is new and special for them. Kid’s
Corner includes a castle play structure (built with donated
labor from the Mid Minnesota Builders crew), a children’s
restroom and carpeted play area. The swim area includes a water
slide but kids must be 41 inches to slide. Fas 829-7761 Lisa
Shattuck The Multi-Purpose teen center is open on school night
from 3:00-7:00 p.m. One could even lineup a weight training
session with our own Dave Pundt. The older part of the building
is now undergoing extensive renovations also which should
 be
done in time for the busiest part of the summer season. The new
women’s locker room includes swim suit drying while the
remodeled men’s room in the older part will include TV’s. The
history video traced many things back to their YMCA roots
including invention of basketball, volleyball and racquetball;
the starting point for organizations including Boy Scouts,
Toastmasters, Gideons and the first ever African American
organization; and the first indoor pool. The YMCA serves more
young people than any other charitable organization and is 17
million members strong. They are dedicated to serving the entire
person and the entire community. Sertoma has donated $5,000 to
the completion of this project and everyone should take the
opportunity to see how well they have spent their Sertoma
dollars. Pick up the new group exercise and pool schedule or
call with questions if you can't stop. |

Thanks to the social committee for organizing another successful
Ditch Pick These guys were the first hardy souls out in the heavy
wind and cold weather to clean things up again. Sandra Ehrich won
the picnic table.Of course the newly appointed Sertoma Sex Kitten
got to pick the ditch with two very good looking women. Be sure to
click on the photo link below to see the new Ditch Pick photos. |

Tom Rosenberger shared a daybrightener with us. He visited a
kindergarten class recently and was very intrigued with two of the
definitions of "retired" that he got from the kids. You are either
enjoying or looking forward to "being tired of your job and
wanting to quit" or "losing your marbles so you can't do your job
anymore and you have to quit". |

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. |
