Greeter Schedule
Remember: Greeters (Be sure to take care of your duties that include meeting people at the door and getting the ticket money counted and divided with half going to Tami to give away and half to Diane for the social committee's budget). 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 and half goes to the Club President along with the bucket of tickets. Be there by 11:45 and call somebody if you can't. Call Patty Hartman.

Sertoman of the Day
New member Craig Swenson was today’s honored Sertoman. Craig and his wife Michelle are newlyweds.

He was brought into the club about the time he got married by Steve Mau. Craig works for Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union in personal banking loans and mortgages. The office is located in 406 West Washington. Craig has been with them for 2.5 years. Before that he worked in college administration. Craig was very excited about the expansion of his company in the past few years.

His most embarrassing moment involved strolling into the Salvation Army in his mismatched shoes.

Of Note
A special award was given to Jinny Haugen for her participation in the flag program. Jinny has provided the space to store the flags since the inception of the program. Thanks again Jinny. Welcome back Dave Bergin, Tami Webb, Kevin Donnay, and Kevin Wroolie.
Rumor Corner 
  • Gus Rotary or Sertoma which club are you in?
  • Trent Bauman got a little jealous that Paul Gropper collected so many fines he got the cute nickname (Sad am) so he strived to match the effort. When the whole dog pound got fined for excessive celebration of the ticket win, he came mighty close.
  • Bonnie Cumberland’s shoes matched but she got fined for them anyway—they were a little loud.
  • No Johnson’s manned the greeter booth so Trent decided there must have been a family reunion somewhere.
  • Gus is giving one of his hand me down jobs to Stephanie Thurlow.
