Speech and Hearing  Center….

 

 We received a request from Craig McCart that the Center is looking for some Financial Support….  Several Clubs have donated $ 500 towards the purchase of Hearing Aids…Which is much appreciated…but the Center does more than dispense Hearing Aids…

They provide SERVICES….. They are in good shape as far Equipment goes, Thanks to Citrus,  But they are short on Funds too provide service to young and old. Please discuss this at your Board Mtg and help them out. Craig or his staff is willing to come to your club as a program, especially if you wave a check his way…..

Sound Familiar

There is a story about four Sertomans, called Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody.

There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it. Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it.  It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when actually Nobody asked Anybody to do it. Please don’t let it happen to your Sertoma Club…..  Expect everyone to help ! ! ! ! ! !
