 Dave
Clausen had a chance to become lucky number thirteen. That is the
thirteenth member of the Northern Lakes Sertoma Club. The Dog
Pound voted him in—Big Mike as a member of the Northern Lakes Club
was more than willing to take on another member to help them with
their fund raisers. That was the purpose of the visit from the
folks in the photograph to the left: Lori Ukkelberg, Cami Haberman,
Darren Larson, Raymond Niemann and Mike Boen who distributed the
“infamous” Viking books.
They utilized this opportunity to tell us about their
organization which was begun under the auspices of Dave
Burggraff’s District Governorship of the Great Plains Region. The
Northern Lakes group meets the first and third Fridays of the
month at the Apine. They raise at least $10,000 annually and this
money has been used for playground equipment for Sibley Park in
Pequot, the fishing pier on Sibley Lake, classroom amplification
systems for the new Eagle View School and many other worthwhile
community endeavors.
Their other fundraiser that businesses might be interested in
is “The Dancing Man” who can be rented to attract attention to
your business on special days. Mike made a plea for
references—people we are acquainted with the north who might be
interested in joining their club. Thanks Diane Ulmen for taking notes. The note takers from
now on will be simply whoever volunteers for the day. See Rory
before the meeting to pick up the sheet; it is very self
explanatory and easy to use. Only 48 or so people have to
volunteer once a year to cover this task that makes Pam’s job so
much easier.

| 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 |
|
We didn’t have an official Sertoman of the Day so Rory took the
opportunity to introduce himself to the new members of the club.
Rory is the new owner of Quality Graphics. He purchased the
business this spring from Bill Mitsch. The business specializes in
marketing materials, trade show brochures, and direct mail. He and
his wife Crystalie have been married for 10 years. She runs their
seasonal business in the Bay Lake Area called “The Wooden Nickle”
He has three daughters that are all grown. His life on an 80 acre
hobby farm includes llamas and a menagerie to go with them. Rory’s
North Dakota farm background shows in the job that brought him to
the area—work with the Farm Bureau. His most embarrassing moment
involved his mother telling the whole town how he lost his
retainer. That brought up the topic of presidential slogans and
somehow we learned a little more about Mark Puschinsky also.

| Of Note: |
|
| Just a note to ask that you all keep
Tom Rosenberger and his wife Betty in your prayers. He had heart
surgery on Tuesday, August 31st. He is in Abbott N.W. Hospital.
The address is 800 E 28th St, Minneapolis, MN 55407. The phone
number is 612-863-4111. Ask for Station 10. Tom’s surgery went
well and he is expected home this weekend. |

|
A big personal thank-you from Pam to Diane Ulmen, Bonnie
Cumberland and Karla Nelson for taking time out from their holiday
schedule to help with the Rally Up North. Camp Confidence is
especially grateful for this help on a busy weekend. |
|
| It’s a Grand Old Flag and we are
certainly on the road to making all national holidays much grander
in the Brainerd area. However, we cannot continue expanding the
flag project if people are not willing to become flag captains.
This is an opportunity to donate a couple of hours to a great
project. Please volunteer when Rory or Mike asks for help. Seek
out those who do volunteer to be captains and help out if you
cannot be in charge. |

- John Marshmallow Entrepreneur Raboin was back.
- His competion, Chuck Bartels is now in the Landscaping
Business-but only for people who have rocks in their heads.
- Carole Paulson paid a rare fine today gladly—she was
advertising her business’s move to 304 East River Road.
- If you weren’t at Sertoma today, you will have to guess who
Paul Gropper got fined for groping!!! The sergeants wondered if
the honeymoon was over?
- Joe doesn’t know and it is driving him buggy—don’t tell him
where the rookie party is until you announce it folks!!!!!
- See Sarah Nelson—ear wax removal specialist.
- And whose Sertoma presidential slogan was “Party til you
Puke”?
- Mike Howard was too cold today to give his chili report.
