We met the rookies today. Since we didn’t have a
program, Rory took the opportunity to tell us about how important
it is to get the rookies involved in our activities. He
complimented this year’s group for a great rookie party and for
their immediate impact on our club. Each of them present at the
meeting had the opportunity to introduce themselves and do a
little “mini Sertoman of the Day” speech. Rookies -
left to right in the picture included Matt Pecarich of Century 21
who is a proud new papa and likes basketball.
Next is Sarah Nelson, an Audiologist and new home
owner.
Rhonda Mareck of Brenny Funeral Home is single and
likes to shop.
Jeff Marchand is single also and still does not
get weekends off after 21 years with Cub Foods.
Bryan Jelinski also works at Cub, can’t remember
exactly how long he has been married but don’t tell his wife, and
loves outdoor sports.
Randy Hukriede from Pollution Control Agency
carries his work into his life since he also loves outdoor
activities.
Stephanie Thurlow took a minute to explain that
Pitney Bowes is the company that does postage meters and then got
a big laugh when she had to admit that John Raboin was her
sponsor. Gene Farone told us about his family
including his two children and his wife Shelli, who is the new
office manager at Camp Confidence.
Dick Stoltman has retired, loves to hunt and fish,
and finally has enough time to join Sertoma.
Greg Meierhofer from People’s National Bank just
told us “Yes, many embarrassing moments!” and then went on to talk
about being involved in his son’s activities.
John Linn of First Federal Savings Bank talked
about being a water-skier forever (John and Linda are seated).
Linda Twaddle is with Good Samaritan and loves to
be outside especially on the water.
This looks like a splendid crop of Rookies who can
go on to get their GEM Awards and continue to be active
participants for many years to come.
Thanks Karen Owen for taking notes. |
