Sprint into March 2009 with Des Moines Sertoma!
Things may be rough in the economy, but the Des Moines Sertoma Club just keeps going. We have a busy March in store:
Sertoman Joe Kristan leads off the March speaker schedule. Joe will talk on March 3 about how we ended up with the federal and Iowa tax systems we have, and some of the many ways they are absurd. He will also field tax questions and, if he's in a good mood, maybe even have some pointers to help you on your own returns.
Des Moines Register Deputy Editorial-page Editor Linda Lantor Fandel will chat with us March 10 about providing Iowa kids a "world-class schools."
Our own Rick Howe will be responsible for the March 17 session; check back here for details.
Brian Brown, Drake Relays Director, will visit on March 24th to tell us about this year's 100th running of the Relays.
Our evening meeting this month takes us to Wells Fargo Arena on March 31 to see the Iowa Chops AHL hockey team take on the Houston Aeros. See Joe Kristan for your tickets.
When things get rough, the Sertoma Club's mission of Service to Mankind takes on added urgency. Our planning for our annual Fantasy Baseball Camp for deaf and hard-of-hearing kids is in full swing. Planning is underway to spread the word about hearing safety at the Iowa State Fair. There's always something going on at the Des Moines Sertoma Club. Come join us!
