 “Hoofing it for Hart” was the major topic presented to Sertoma
today by Shawn Kobs, Kennel Supervisor for the Heartland Animal
Rescue Team. Along with encouraging us to participate and
support their biggest fund raiser which will take place rain,
snow, or shine on May 4th 2002 at the Northland Arboretum
starting with registration at 930-10:00 a.m. followed by a 4.2
mile walk, she shared her enthusiasm for the work that Hart
does. As Shawn said, “This is a great opportunity for animals
and their owners to share a day and raise money to support our
animal shelter at the same time.” Walkers are encouraged but not
required to bring an animal. Fas 829-7761 Jolene Jensen. Prizes
will be awarded for a number of different categories and a
special award will be presented to the team that raises the most
money. The event kicks off “Be Kind to Animals Week” and helps
support the more than 1500 homeless animals that are served
annually by this local shelter. Shawn also shared with us some
of the misconceptions about HART that she hopes will soon be
dispelled with the hiring of an executive director for the site.
FAS 829-7761 Dean Zenner. Every effort is made to find suitable
homes for strays and to reconnect animals picked up by animal
control with their owners. The facility can house 20 dogs and 20
cats with isolation for sick animals, has an impound area for
pets whose owners have met with accidents and even utilizes
foster farms for bigger animals. Their placement rate is 75%
which is good but Shawn would like to see it go much higher. The
shelter has a whole list of much needed items that can be
donated and always welcomes volunteers to work. |

Thank You
Sertoma and Mike Howard--Thank you very much for the time spent on
the pipe and drape for the Home and Patio Show. Your support of
the MMBA is greatly appreciated. Thank You Cheryal Lee Hills.
Dear Swinging Sertomans--Thank you hardly seems adequate as a
response to the terrific donation you gave to the Kinship Partners
volunteers. It was an evening to remember. Please accept my
sincere gratitude on behalf of the board of directors, our staff
and all the volunteers. You are one terrific bunch of men.
Sincerely, Pat Johnsten |

| Notes |
 GEM Good enthusiastic members are hard to find. We get 30
new members a year and only a few of them get to the GEM status.
Today Sertoma congratulated Laura Beilke and gave her her GEM
plaque. |

Keep Keith Lunneborg in your thoughts. He and his wife just
had premature twin boys who are hospitalized in Minneapolis. |

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. |
