Today our theme was pink. President Clausen was tickled pink
because he got to hit the highlights of the May Board Meeting for
our membership. Lowell Carlson and DeAnn Barry were added to our
membership with no drops. We accepted to transfers with Paulas
Cotten replacing Linda Turpin and Sue Slaybaugh taking Kevin
Wroolies spot.
Many thanks to Karen Owen and Scott Fisher who have volunteered
for pipe and drape clean-up. Gus reported that we are making
progress with presenting the Winter Wonderland to the businesses
in the area. According to Steve Mau who talked about Dubuque, "The
bar was set very high for us in 2008."
 Joe
Schulte was in the pink today because he received his Centurion
Award. Although this award is given for certain Sertoma
activities, it does not begin to acknowledge the tremendous amount
of work that Joe has given to our club. Brainerd Noon Sertoma
appreciates all of your hard work and dedication Joe.
Pam pinked it up when she announced the new Sertoma Photo
Gallery on our very own website. We had been posti ng
pictures on a different server. Anyone who has "historical" photos
that they would like to add to the album, please contact Pam. She
will scan them and upload them hopefully with an appropriate
caption.
The group that formed to be the biggest loser was blushing a
pretty pink color when Joyce Anderson announced that those that
have reported in have lost 75 pounds. They all received their
official t shirt today.
And finally, our beloved Pooch (Mark Puschinsky) was PRETTY IN
PINK
 today
in hopes that people would notice him and buy a ticket for the
Swinging Sertoman concert next Sunday at Franklin Arts Center at
7:00 p.m. Tickets are only $10 and benefit the Crossing Arts
Alliance. Paul Gropper has promised to fine everyone who comes to
next week's meeting that has never heard our great Sertoma
Ambassador group perform, so get out there on Sunday and see the
guys. (Italics for the pictures) |

Thanks Dave Bergin for taking notes. Last week we left
off part of Cheryal Lee Hills name in the thank you but she
did a great job also. |

We need lots and lots of help on Saturday. The flags need
to go up, especially since the Governor's wife will be in town
to enjoy them. Mark Korte, Jeff Olson, Dave Clausen, Nancy
Hallam, Dave Burggraph, Rory Coit, Gene Farone and Bill Goers
stepped in to fill some last minute gaps. Someone needs to
volunteer to be in charge of the last flag team!!!! Thanks to
Lowell Carlson and Ernie Fredrichs for their hole drilling
efforts last week. Tami Webb is manning the booth at the mall
from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. for Armed Forces Day and she still
needs help. Call her immediately if you can spend some time in
the booth telling people about Sertoma. |

for committees. If you received a survey, please fill it
out and return it to her as soon as possible. If you are a
committee chair who wasn't at the meeting, contact Karen to
get your survey mailed or faxed to you. |

Schedule |

| Remember:
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 Current Club Treasurer for the social committee and
half goes to the Club President along with the bucket of tickets.
Be there by 11:45 and call somebody to substitute for you if you
can't be there. |

Rumor Corner
|
- Pam, Kathy and Bonnie all vote to have a scheduled meeting
without a program or a Sertoman of the Day just to give people a
chance to socialize.
- Boysnberries Strawberries got an ad in today--Farmer Bob
Nibbe had to pay a fine.
- The pink shirt was the major topic of conversation today.
Charlie Bartels decided to the Pooch's Coming Out In Pink
director. Clausen mentioned it and got criticized for losing the
sleeves from his sweater and acting "hot".
- Fiduciary is spelled M O N E Y according to Dave Bergin.
- Taco Dave the male prostitute did not work at Taco John's
under the auspices of Kelly's Services.
- However, volunteering to do flags on Saturday morning in
spite of the fact that it will make him late to his grandpa's
90th birthday makes up for all Dave's nonsense today!
- Support Melody Bank in the Arthritis Walk.
- Dave Burggraph paid his $2 fine because his cell phone rang
and it was the President wanting to know if he could employ any
illegal aliens at his new Vacationland Fun Park.
