Sertoman of the Year 2008

Jim Stubbe received the award of Sertoman of the year for 2007. This award is Sertoma’s highest for one of its members. In a weather-delayed award ceremony Paul Voss, co-president of Middleton Sertoma club presented the award to Jim on the behalf of the club at Fitzgeralds of Middleton.

Jim has taken the lead for the National Heritage poster competition for Middleton’s fifth grade students. He gets the materials to the various fifth grade teachers in the Middleton elementary schools, collects the posters, leads our judging and returns the posters. He works with the middle school swing choir and also takes the lead in making the arrangements for the 3 scholarships we give to the Middleton high school seniors. He has done this for as many years as the author has been parto of Sertoma.

He does this each year, so the club wanted to honor him for his service in this community.

National Heritage Awards - Feb 2008

Winners of the 2008 National Heritage Poster competition in Middleton’s four elementary schools were recognized by the Middleton Sertoma club. The top three posters from each school were on display. Each of the four of the first place winners and their parents were present for the awards at Fitzgerald’s.

This year’s theme was “America and my Heritage”. This past week with President’s Day honors some of our outstanding leaders in history and we honor many of the heritages that made our country. Middleton Sertoma has again sponsored the competition for 5^th grade students in the four Middleton elementary schools during our National Heritage Week. Many excellent posters where submitted. They were judged on expression of the theme, following the guidelines, use of color and creativity. We had many entries with nearly 60 from ELm Lawn. We very much appreciate all the time and talent invested into this contest and congratulates all the participants on a great job.
