Dear fellow Sertomans,

It is just a little over a week until our 8^th annual Mardi Gras silent auction party which will be held Saturday February 9^th, 2008 at the Summit Club!  For all of you new members: I truly hope you can attend and lend a helping hand during the festivities.  This is always a really fun event where we get to dress up and enjoy good food, fellowship and entertainment, all while raising money for a great cause.  The party will kick off at 7pm and go until 11pm.  Bring friends, family, loved ones and co-workers.  If you have already sold some tickets, please try to email Ann Pauley with the names, addresses and phone numbers of your guests so we can be a little more organized.  We really need to make this event the biggest and best it has ever been, especially since Sportsarama was cancelled this year and we need to make up for the lost revenue. 

Our first lunch meeting in February we will have two special presentations, so I hope all of you can be there.  First, we will be presenting Palmetto State Base Camp their check from Richland Sertoma from our golf tournament proceeds.  Also, we will be presenting the 2007-2008 Service to Mankind Award to our recipient, George Cauthen.  Please make every effort to attend!

Also keep in mind the date of April 16^th 2008, which we have slated for our next membership social.  Be thinking of potential members that you would like to invite.  Steven Langer and I will be working diligently to put this together and will get more information to you on this over the next month. 

Thanks for all you do for our club.
