 Sertoma will be represented November 19th at the National Guard Armory when the Jaycees, Community Action and the Brainerd Dispatch present its 5th Distinguished Service Awards Banquet with social hour starting at 5:30 and dinner at 6:30. Our table will be there to cheer on our own Bonnie Cumberland when she accepts the Citizen of the Year Award. She will be joined by Mike Lambert, Outstanding Law Enforcement; Michelle Blong, Child Care; Sandy Cowell, Educator from Garfield School; Ruth Gogolin, Outstanding Senior Citizen; Cindy Clough, Outstanding Young Citizen; Dan Caughey Outstanding Young Farmer; Merle Gallant, Outstanding Fire Fighter; and Mandy Copa, Outstanding Youth. Mike Jay and DeAnn Barry gave us the background information on the program which was established in 1997 coordinating many individual efforts to recognize people who volunteer their time in Brainerd. Mike promised us some patriotic decorations, and encouraged businesses to also participate by purchasing gold, silver, or basic sponsorships which would provide tables either for their own employees or friends of the recipients. FAS 821-1130 Tami Webb The packages include publicity in brochures, programs and the newspaper and are a good deal.

| Announcements |

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. This weekıs winners were Rory
Coit, and Reed Campbell and Kevin Donnay. |

Sertoman of the Day
|
 Kristine Welle was the honored Sertoman of the Day. She recently moved to
Brainerd and she is employed at Super Eight where they are in the middle of
an extensive renovation project. She is very familiar with the area because
her parents have had a summer place for 20 years. She also is a life-guard
at the YMCA . Her hobbies include working on her house, dart league,
boating, snowmobiling and going into menıs bathrooms(just kidding but she
did say she has done it enough to make it her most embarrassing moments).
FAS 821-1130 Taylor Torgerson She went to college and got two degrees
directly related to her current employment. She joined in July and was
sponsored by Julie Degen. She describes herself as someone who is happy and
content with her life right now.
