Dear Sertoma Club members
Well it finally made it this week. Winter is finally here. You Sertomans in Florida and Arizona just don’t know what you are missing. Nothing is more beautiful than the landscape and trees covered with a crystal white snow in the morning. Today driving into church it was just almost like a picture, truly amazing. We have a lot of great speakers and activities coming up in Sertoma, may not be as amazing as winter landscape, but yet it is still exciting.
ChildServe
First of all, thanks to Craig Randall for setting up the Child Serve outing. It was a great meeting for those who were able to make it (Remember, those who made it to that meeting are exempt from Bob Simon’s fines).
Sy Gau Scholarship
Just to get in a last minute push for the Sy Gau Scholarship The great plains region Sertoma Clubs once again have the chance to have a family member apply for $1,000 Sy Gau Scholarship. Deadline to return the application is January 31, 2007, which is a week from Wednesday. So if you have a son, daughter, niece, nephew, grandson, granddaughter, cousin, or any relative. Have them apply. There is no grade point or financial need, only community service & why it is important in life. So if you need an application let Craig Randall and myself know and we can email it to you.

The next newsletter I hope to start adding a feature on our new Sertoma members. We have had a few start with us these last six months and I think it is time to get to know them. So for you new members, start thinking of interesting things about yourself that you want to share with the group. Until the next meeting, keep safe.
