Des Moines Sertoma Club
September 23, 2007 Newsletter
Dear Sertoma Club members.
Hope things are going well with the members of the club. This weekend for football fans of the teams of Iowa, certainly had a rough weekend. With the close losses of Iowa and Iowa State and also the loss for Drake, certainly made it kind of a downer weekend. Though it was a great weekend and it should be of some consolation that Drake’s loss was to UNI, who is having a great season.
Sport’s is always a good conservation starter at a Sertoma Club meeting, because we are passionate about our sports and have always followed our teams closely. So it is only fitting that the greatest sportscaster in Iowa history is going to help our club out. I know you have received a couple of emails on this already, but I do think it is worth mentioning again in our newsletter, what Jim Zabel is going to do for our very own Sertoma Club.
This past Tuesday, Craig Randal made the announcement that the proceeds from the sale of a DVD produced by Iowa Sports Weekly and hosted by Jim Zabel would go to the Sertoma Club of Des Moines. The push for the sale of the DVD will through the end of the year since it would make good holiday gifts. Today on the Jim and Jim Show on WHO Radio 1040 AM Jim announced that the DVD's would go on sale and where the proceeds were going. The cost of the DVD is $20.00 and it can be made available to us as Sertomans to sell to friends or to personally purchase one. On the show today they did say where the DVD's can be obtained. As Sertoman we will probably get the chance to buy a DVD between now and November and more than likely Jim Zabel would be willing to autograph it personally for you. You can also check out www.iowasportsweekly.com for more information as it will be on their site soon.
Sometime after the first of the year we will plan a Noon lunch program and Kim Baker one of the hosts of the Iowa Sports Weekly television show who will come and talk about what Iowa Sports Weekly is all about and present our club with a check. I think this is a great opportunity for our club and our programs. This is just another great thing for our club to get excited about, because this gives us more of an opportunity to be a club that helps the people of Des Moines.
