 Special guests at Sertoma were law officers Erick Klang and John
Bolduc and firefighters Kevin Mahle and Steve Shepherd. These
great guys were at the meeting to help us remember the tragedies
of a year ago. They received a standing ovation when Joe Schulte
introduced them with a special story of how this has personally
reached his life. The Kelly Services CEO had only one son who
died in the Twin Towers. Laura Beilke also got up and thanked
the members of the fire department for their prompt attempts to
save her house which burned to the ground on September 12th of
last year. She also mentioned what a great group of people the
Sertomans were with all their offers of housing, meals and help
throughout the ordeal. Laura invited everyone to a special Feng
Shui House Blessing with Jenny Baker. Call Laura at 825-8750 and
let her know that you are coming at 6:15 to 331 Kenwood Drive in
Brainerd to help celebrate their new home. The red white and
blue was prevalent throughout the large crowd as most people in
attendance displayed their patriotism and support for our
beloved country. |

Sertoman of the Day
|
 Sertoman of the Day Sharol Gibson is a new member who arrived in
Brainerd in 2000. She is part of Mark Engstrandıs team at Edina
Realty and took the opportunity to tell us her agency is the
most well rounded one available in the area. She has 4 children
ages 6-19, three older girls and her youngest boy who just
started school. Her significant other has three children of his
own, so her first hobby is family. . She is also a horse person
with two Morgans, She came from Montevideo where she had
experience in the restaurant and hotel business including
catering. Cooking and entertaining are listed among her hobbies,
Sharol was a member of the Chamber of Commerce there but decided
to become involved with Sertoma here because of our goals and
purpose. Her sponsor was Joyce Seymour. She ended her speech
with a very nice quote to encourage everyone to cope with the
tragedy that is foremost in everyone's mind today. |

Rumor Corner |
-
 Which Sertoman and all around nice guy secretary has joined the
political
bandwagon with his new campaign for mayor?
- What did Mike Howard do
to Edie Hindman on the boat?
- What's with the new sergeants fining
each other? As you can see by their picture they do need to work
on presenting a solid front.

Humor Corner from Brenda and Dave
The Ballad of the Sertoma Hillbillies
 Heres a little song to recap our year;/We had to dress like this
cause we didn't have no beer/ It seems like yesterday we had
begun/ The said be nice and try and have some fun. (Laughter that
is)
He started out alone, and it was quite sad,/ They kept asking him
is that the best he had./He knew he could use some help up here/
He prayed and he prayed and look what appeared (Brenda that is)
Well the next thing you know there's Brenda by my side/ Cuz I
can't get Chuck even when I tried./ We soon grew tired of the
whining educators/The realtors, bankers and other master
Aggravators (Lyrics that is gotta make a rhyme)Now Dave and Brenda
couldn't stay apart too long/Thank God there's a podium so you can
see her pull my ????/A song and a dance is just the thing you
need/While you are burping up the big Bonanza feed. (???Chicken,
that is) We went to the Pres to beg for more time./Gary said (NO!
We say "Pay your fricken fine."/ We joked and we riddled and we
tried to say our lines/All we got from you is whine whine whine
(Dale/Rboin, that is) fas 829-7761 Janelle Riley.
 Well, its time
to say our goodbyes, I guess we came and went/ Remember each
dollar goes to our social event./ We both hope you enjoyed
yourselves today,/ Regardless if you didnıt you must still pay
(that's it that is) (Censored Mickey Mouse Rhyme)
Thanks Brenda and Dave for sharing your humor with us all this
past year. |
