Why Join Sertoma?

If you’re looking for a service organization to join please consider the following:

• We’re a true SERVICE organization. This means we get out and work hard to raise the funds we make available. We have a history of service and hard work and believe there is great honor in both.
• We’re a great place to network. The club is made up of professionals of all ages and is a great opportunity to meet new people.
• We pay dues so 100% of proceeds can be donated to the organizations we help.
• We start each meeting with a prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance, and we’re proud of it.
• We actively encourage civic participation and make that possible through weekly meetings with local leaders of all types. The biggest names in the area speak at Sertoma.

Have an Idea for a Speaker or Fundraiser?

We’re actively soliciting speakers for weekly meetings as well as ideas for future fundraisers. If you know of someone that is a community leader, has been in the news lately, or has something important to say, please contact us with your suggestion. The same goes for a great fundraising opportunity or idea.
