Sertoma News letter for February 18, 2007

February 18, 2007 Newsletter
Dear Sertoma Club members
You remember the last time I wrote I said how beautiful the snow was and how excited I was to have it around. Well after three weeks of snow and cold weather, I am ready for it to be gone. I know last Tuesday a lot of people missed the meeting due to the weather, including myself. But, looking at this week’s forecast it looks like the weather sould be nice for the week. So no weather excuses to be used this week to get out of Bob Simon’s fines. We have a lot of things a head of us these next few weeks so let me give you a rundown.
Drake Basketball
We have a men’s basketball game upcoming for our evening program for February. We will be going to the men’s game this Wednesday February 21st where they will be playing Evansville. The Drake men’s team this year is the State’s large school basketball champions beating Iowa, Iowa State and UNI(twice) to win the mythical state crown. Is an unbelievable feat when you consider the talent levels of the teams. So go out and cheer the Drake men to a victory.
This Tuesday
Come out this Tuesday afternoon (February 20th), and to listen to Bipin Menon. He is a friend of Kevin Krause who will be sharing with us about the Indian culture. Should be an interesting topic and I encourage everyone to attend.
Fantasy Baseball Camp Committee meeting
Join the Fantasy Baseball camp planning committee. They will be meeting at John Badger's office on Wednesday, February 21, 2007, at 8:00 AM. They will be discussing the 2007 Camp budget/fundraising, Spring Event, and changes and improvements for this year's camp. All members are invited to attend. If you would like to attend please call Paulette Taylor at 224-6408 to let her know you are coming. For you new members, this would be a great way to get involved in the planning of a great event.
Highway Clean up
Not sure when this is schedule yet for the month of April, but it will be on one of the Saturdays. So start thinking ahead and reserve your Saturdays. Hopefully Tony Aldridge will be able to tell us in the next couple of weeks.

February 21st – Drake Men’s Basketball (Drake vs. Evansville)
