 Dale
Brady and Debbie Struthers from the Northland Arboretum visited
Sertoma today with two purposes in mind. First of all, Dale
invited us to their Northland Arboretum Spring Fling which will
be held Friday, May 5th at 6:30 p.m. at the visitor's center.
Gourmet hors doeurves, music by the Skatyrs and a Silent Auction
round out the evening. Tickets are $45 and still available by
calling 218-829-8770.
Dale also was excited to share his vision of the future for
the Arboretum since the golf course will be developed and water
run-off will have to be handled by the Arboretum. He began by
saying what an excellent idea the development of the Winter
Wonderland was. The plan for handling the excessive water which
will involve the DNR, the Audubon Society, Crow Wing County and
the Army Corps of Engineers to mention just a few of the
agencies involved, will be the construction of a pond system.
The system will hook up with their current pond which will be
aerated, improving drainage through the creek into the
Mississippi River, and provide an area for shoreland projects
and bird sanctuaries.
A system of walkways will connect with the Paul Bunyan Trail,
the Baxter Trail and the Brainerd trails and hopefully will
include a cardio vascular rehab trail and a bog walk which will
start behind the Civic Center. All told, it will involve 1,000
acres of green space when hooked up with the new park being
planned by Brainerd. A press conference in June to announce
these plans will involve the governor and many political
dignitaries. Dale and Debbie hope that Sertoma will continue to
support the Arboretum. |

| Greeter
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. |
