Program 
SpeakerIf all that you really know about soccer is that every once in a while they have something called the World Cup and that it is very popular in Europe and South America, then you would have learned some important information from our two program guests today. Soccer has become a very important sport to many people in the area particularly the girls. Varsity CLC Girls Coach Steve Kimball was very proud of his teams performance this year. He came to Brainerd to teach Multi Media at Mississippi Horizons and to work with the soccer girls at the college. He is very acquainted with the area due to his grandparents, his grandfather Chuck Warnberg, was sheriff for many years. Steve was quick to give credit to the people who did the groundwork to get this program started. His job he feels is to promote soccer as "something for the girls to call their own" and another option to stimulate community pride. He went over the improvements the team has made in three years and was especially proud of their defense which has reduced the goals scored against them in a season's games to 15, which is less than one per game and half their average three years ago. He says that the success the girls are having is modeled on the German defense and the Brazilian offense. He then segued into his introduction of his co-speaker, Pete Olson, who coaches 37 junior high girls as well as serving as the Vice President of Lakes Area Youth Hockey Association. Laura Beilke, who introduced the speakers, wanted Pete to present to Sertomans the vision of this organization fas 829-7761 Gar Phllips. Pete said, "The soccer program is alive and well but we need everyone's help". The association has a goal to provide more fields for teams; at present only five are available. If you are interested in promoting soccer in this area, the LAYSA Annual Meeting and 2003 Soccer Registration will be held at 6:30 p.m. at the Mississippi Horizons School Cafeteria. Contact Laura Beilke (825-8750) for more information.

The Joe Rookie Challenge Clues:
The latest clue was no surprise to most Sertomans--"I am female".
I am generally a quiet person, but after a few beers things just don't add up.
I am between five two and five eleven
I am married and have a family
I am a junk food junky, my weakness is chocolate-figure that?
"I love heavy metal/rock music, and so does our son"
(There have only been four guesses so far and all have been wrong.)

Joe NiklausThe special guest of Dave Pundt was a Joe Niklaus who was representing the On Stage Community Theater. They had the pleasant task of giving away two pairs of tickets to see the production of Annie which starts tomorrow night. Laura Beilke and George Moore will be attending the performance. Annie runs for 8 shows at Franklin Junior High School with opening night festivities after the performance at Cafe Giardinos. Tickets are $10 for adult reserved seats, $8 for general admission and $5,00 for children under 12. This play is their first production and they have 25 committed people who have given up their time to present a fabulous show. On Stage is run in conjunction with Brainerd Community Education and their goal is to create opportunities for people of all ages to develop talents in the theatre arts and to provide a fun education and community oriented environment through quality family productions. Of course Dave has a part in the play.
Rumor Corner
  • Does Verna have Hawk tied up in a basement somewhere--he has missed two meetings now?
  • Edie continues to pick on Dave Clausen unmercifully, something about a goose?
  • Joe Schultes favorite band is "Meatloaf"?
  • Who has changed her name to Trixie due to a new curly profusion of hair?
  • And just how did Scott Fisher get to go to the Twins game last night--we all wish we knew.
  • And why do we know have to call Todd Bymark "Big Head"? Rumor has it that the 17th annual Oktoberfest on Friday, October 18 through Sunday October 20th is bigger and better than ever. Many activities are free, entertainment features the Concord Singers, Teddy Bear Band, and the Wendinger Polka Band, an Arts and Crafts Fair, great food and golf.

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.
