 Our Sertoma team came home from the United Way Chili Cookoff
with the Taster's Choice Award. Their Minnesota Chili (no
tomatoes, wild rice etc) was voted the best by the crowd. Mike
Howard took this opportunity to thank the members of his cooking
team: Joe Schulte, Tami Webb, Kristine Welle, Joe Schultes, and
Tania Melby. He also acknowledged Little Moran for the
pheasants, Paul Gropper for the signs, Camp Confidence for the
equipment, and Ginny Haugen fas 829-7761 Becky Hoff for the wild
rice. Heidi Funk, director of United Way, joined us this noon to
congratulate Mike and all of his helpers on their entry, but
more importantly, to thank all of the Sertomans for our $3,000
contribution. Heidi said, "I applaud Sertoma for this huge
contribution." She began her remarks with a story from one
organization that benefits from our donations, ARC and Special
Olympics. It was a story of a race where one special Olypian
fell, and the others in the race stopped, went back, picked up
their fallen comrade and then ran the rest of the race with arms
linked so that they all "won". Heidi felt this was the perfect
analogy to explain the United Ways efforts in a community. The
linked arms are organizations such as the Baxter Youth Shelter,
Timber Bay and Kinship Partners that work so hard with money
donated from the community to help abused and needy kids. She
made this personal with a very touching anecdote from her
experiences as a counselor at Timber Bay. Heidi continued,
"United Way is there for all of us when we are really in need."
She stressed the fact that this money remained in our community
working for us. "Consider linking arms together and giving
through United Way to those in need," was the gist fas 829-7761
Ty Eigner of her message. We are all pieces of the United Way
puzzle, when we give and become involved in programs to help the
less fortunate people in our community we become the linked
pieces that show the whole picture, a happier, healthier
community for all. |

 IN MEMORIAM DAWN HILL
This beautiful graphic is here to help me issue a profound apology
to Allen Hall and his family. My failure to check details resulted
in an incorrect name for his wife who passed away. The spouses of
Sertomans are an integral part of our success and we do need to
acknowledge how much their support means. The following is a
tribute to Dawn written by a very good friend of hers:Mrs.
Allen (Dawn M.) Hall, 51, died Sept. 10, 2002, of cancer at home.
Dawn was the most kind hearted person you could ever meet. She was
a very positive and caring individual. She always had a smile for
everyone and a way of making you feel very special.
She founded Cherrywood Fabrics, a hand-dyed fabric and quilting
business, in 1982. Under her direction and ownership, Cherrywood
Fabrics grew from a small home-based operation into a company that
sold fabrics internationally. She and Allen have three children
(Amy Marohn, Katie Hall, Neal Hall) and one grandchild (Maria
Marohn). Dawn felt that her faith in God and her family are what
helped her get through a 3 1/2 year battle with cancer. She wanted
people to know that she did not die with cancer, she lived with
cancer. Dawn felt that she had been very blessed in her life. She
will be sadly missed by all who knew her.
I know there is a special place in heaven for people like Dawn
and my own Mom who died at home alone with me at the same age
after about the same period of time struggling with this dreaded
disease. The courage shown by people like them is unbelievable. |
