Essay contest readers for this year included - Alan Asher, Donna Brown, Carol Cooper and Linda Janssen.  The membership agreed that up to two sets of savings bond prizes - 1st $200, 2nd $100, 3rd $75 - might be awarded this year.  Linda will have print certificates created for each of the essay contest winners.

4. Chris put forward the idea - for future consideration - of holding one Cedar Valley Sertoma Club meeting per month as an evening meeting (dinner, after dinner, activity, other?).  A number of community members have expressed interest in joining the Cedar Valley Sertoma Club if they could attend an occasional evening meeting.  Chris will survey the membership about this idea via e-mail and ask for additional member input and ideas.
