 Networking
for newcomers was the theme of today's program at Sertoma. Tammy
Filippi, president, and Teri Pierce, president elect, from the
Brainerd Lakes Area Newcomers's Club were our special guests.
Tami moved here four years ago from Duluth and she called her
involvement in the club a lifesaver. She had completely changed
her lifestyle in the move and welcomed this opportunity to learn
more about her new home. The group is family oriented with more
than 90 groups involved. They organize activities that include
 morning
coffees the first Wednesday of each month at 9:30 a.m. at the
Lord of Life Lutheran Church, monthly adult and family socials
such as minature golf or Ladies Night out, Craft Night, Play
Groups, Women's Gourmet Groups, Adult Dinner Groups, and many
recreational and outdoor activities. If you would like more
information about the club go to
www.brainerd.com/newcomers. Tami entertained everyone
with a few Walmart jokes and a Brainerd trivia contest. We
learned about the populartion of Crow Wing County, when the
historic water tower was built, and when the four lane road to
Pequot Lakes is scheduled to be finished. That date was
immediately a matter of considerable merriment when Tammy found
out about our local MN-Dot guru Bob Nibbe who immediately said
it was all rumor. |

Well, folks, it's Mariucci time again. Chuck Bartels and the
people at Camp Confidence are counting on us to make this year's
Sertoma Mariucci Fiesta on Friday, June 13th, bigger and better
than ever. There are over 80 time slots to fill in the volunteer
list that started making its rounds today. That means the great
majority of our active membership needs to find time to spend a
few hours in food prep, cooking or serving on Thursday or Friday
in order to make this work. Please sign up next week. This
activity not only benefits Camp Confidence but it gives us a lot
of wonderful publicity that lets everyone know that we are sincere
about Service to Mankind. |

Remember: Greeters (Be sure to take care of your duties
that include meeting people at the door and getting the ticket
money counted and divided with half going to Tami to give away
and half to Diane for the social committee's budget). As greeter you have several duties. You need to
arrive about 10 minutes early. It is your job to greet people,
help them find their badges and sell them a ticket if they wish
to participate. The money collected must be divided by the
Greeters equally--half goes to the Club Treasurer (Diane Rook
Johnson) and half goes to the Club President along with the
bucket of tickets. Be there
by 11:45 and call somebody if you can't. Call Patty Hartman. |

Of Note Diane, the office manager at Camp Confidence, needs our
prayers and concerns this week. Her husband had a major stroke and
is in the hospital in St. Cloud recuperating. Diane is the person
who takes care of the business side of Pipe and Drape for us. |

Rumor Corner: |
- Brian Skogen's new nick name is "Easy on the Knees"
- Lots of people were golfing today so it was a pretty quiet
meeting.
- Bob Nibbe got fined for being late and for being sassy to
both the speaker and the sergeant.
- If either Todd Alguire and Eric Edwards reads this far, they
need to call Pam at 829-7761 before Tuesday and come to next
week's meeting to collect their FAS money.

Find a Sawbuck Corner: Call 829-7761
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.
