Des Moines Sertoma Club

2010 brings some exciting changes to our Club:

New location: We will meet at the Des Moines Club, 34th Floor. We had two meetings at that location as a test, and it proved popular with the members.

New meeting schedule: We will now meet for lunch twice a month, on the first and third Tuesdays each month.

What doesn't change is our commitment to service and our tradition of great speakers and member events. On tap this month:

We kick off our new decade on January 5 with a visit from Tom Kane, director of the Des Moines Metropolitan Planning Organization.

Our evening meeting this month is January 12, where we will go see the Drake Bulldogs Men's Basketball Team take on Missouri State. See Joe Kristan for ticket information.

Our January 19 speaker is Jim Mumford, First Deputy Insurance Commissioner at Iowa Insurance Division. The economy has been tough on this important Iowa industry, so this should be a great, informative presentation from a key insurance regulator.

Great speakers, great outing, and Service to Mankind - don't wait another day. Join Sertoma!

It’s still cold, there’s still snow on the ground, but things are heating up at the Des Moines Sertoma Club!

We start our February schedule with Des Moines Police Chief Judy Bradshaw on February 2. Find out what’s happening on the mean streets of Des Moines!

On February 11 the club’s monthly evening meeting will be at Drake University’s Knapp Center, where the Drake Women’s basketball team takes on the Evansville Purple Aces. Get tickets at the February 2 meeting or contact Joe Kristan.

Speaking of Drake… our February 16 meeting features Drake athletic Directory Sandy Hatfield Clubb and Jim Noyce, Senior Advisor to the Athletic Director and Major Gift Officer at Drake. Jim is son of our late fellow Sertoman Dick Noyce.

Reminder: With our new schedule, there is no meeting February 9.

Mark your Calendars:

Make plans to see the NBA D-league Iowa Energy on March 17.
