| * Everyone is encouraged to bring potential members to a Sertoma meeting with the Club picking up the cost. However, you will be billed $11.00 for any other guests. | |||||
| Greeter Schedule | |||||
| Remember: 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 for the social committee and half goes to the Club President along with the bucket of tickets. Greeter duties now include handing out the volunteer cards to everyone as they come in the door. They will still be collected in the bucket with the badges or can be submitted to the treasurer. Be there by 11:45 and call somebody to substitute for you if you can’t be there. |

| Business Notes | |||||
| John Raboin was very positive about the new flags brought in by the Guilt Trip Movement. We are one of four communities in the whole state still carrying out the tradition of flying the flags. The more we sell, the more impressive our city will be to those who come here as tourists and visitors. Great job flag committee, keep up the good work!! | |||||

| What a great day at Sertoma–With all of the guests attending to witness Beth’s presentation it was just like the good old days!! Our sergeants went out of their way to be mean and entertaining!! Chef Mike with last minute notice got together enough food to feed a crowd and somehow some one produced the traditional cake at the last minute. Beth has been such a hardworking member of Sertoma for many years and she was truly surprised when her name was called–fun days at Sertoma are returning and we are all enjoying it. Beth got fined $2 for being Sertoman a Year only Gary could do that. Lori got fined for Seattle and she was happy because She had a great trip. Gry fined all the outgoing officers and those coming in. John R fined Sertomans of the Year by asking them to talk about one thing they were really proud of in their service to mankind. Rick Besmehn was proud of his work ethic and John told him was the heart of Pipe and Drape . Lori got fined for starting the Winter Wonderland. Gary got fined for being president of the largest Sertoma Club in the World. Beth was proud of helping start the flag project. Happy fines–Pam F was happy because of someone telling her that we were one of three communities in MN still doing flags as they were working on their set up on Flag Day. She is happy for her guest, Corey Wrobel who is thinking of joining.. Beth is happy to be Sertoman of the Year and grateful for all her company including her husband . Loni, her sister was so happy about Beth’s award she just wanted to contribute to the organization some big bucks . Shannon left happy because she just received notice of a $100,000 grant just announced for the Women’s Shelter for retraining for staff and clients which is shared by two other organizations. She also left with her $5,000 check from the Sertoma distribution. It wasn’t as much when Mike remarked we couldn’t match her announced grant, but she remarked that” joining Sertoma was the best decision she made as executive director.”  |

| Karla has been missing from Sertoma quite a bit lately. So ……..just in case you needed a dose of lame jokes, here they are. She used to get them from tv but these were borrowed from the Reader’s Digest: Knock knock. Who’s there? Interrupting cow, interrupt MOO If you’re an American when you go in the bATHROOM AND aMERICAN WHEN YOU COME OUT, what are you in the bathroom? European What did the fish say when he swam into the wall? Dam What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fsh What do you call a can opener that doesn’t work? A can’t opener There are three types of people in the world: Those who can count and those who can’t. Did you hear about the Italian chef who died? He pasta-way I sold my vacuum the other day. All it was doing was collecting dust. What is Forrest Gump’s email password? 1forrest1 Did you hear about Karla inventing enough knock knock jokes to get some attention?She won the “no’bell” prize What’s red and bad for your teeth?

| Today we are saluting a long time member of Sertoma Milo Johnson. Milo was a very active member and at one time worked as gaming manager for Confidence Learning Center after he retired from Auto Value Auto Parts. He lives in deer shack in Gonvick. He is doing very well healthwise and looks great according to a good source. Milo will be 82 on January 29th of next year. A family get together is planned in Gully over the fourth July. Lori, his daughter and her husband Greg Gattis are coming from Texas which will be special for him. Shannon, his other daughter and Michael Dallaire live in Brainerd and will attend the celebration of the Fourth with other family and friends of Milo. He’s happy to be back home in the Gully area, but he does miss his Brainerd friends. He plans to come up soon and get together with Jeff Olson and his friends from Sertoma. Does anyone remember his “Smooth Dog” nickname. He is pictured with “Harold the Hermit” who was a long time volunteer at Confidence.
