    David Lawson | Feb 14th.

    David Lawson had a great idea and preceded to make it a reality. It most likely didn’t hurt that he also had an ad agency.  However, he has come up with a method of presenting three of our most important documents in US history; the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights and the US Constitution.  They look good when framed and I got fascinated checking out the pictures of the presidents – trust me, they were not elected on looks.

    Report on the board meeting:  A Twitter account was created for The Knoxville Downtown Sertoma Club so that we are now creating more of a footprint within social media. Now we will be able to connect with our speakers on a deeper level and be able to update more on upcoming speakers.

    We called out the big dogs to induct our newest member Lee Freeman.  He is the new director of the Sertoma Induction of Lee Freeman into the Knoxville Downtown Sertoma ClubCenter and we hope to have him as a regular attendee of our club. We presented him with a check for $3551.00 as incentive and John Kerr did the honors.  With Johns attendance we had three of the four Kerr “boys”.

    Recording keeping:  Alan Stuckey read the prayer, Bert West led the pledge. We had Herman Thompson, my brother Art McRae and wife Katie as guest.

    Andy Schoerner won the grid pick

    Next Week we will have Gerald Green with MPC as our speaker.

  • Hexagon Brewing Company | August 2nd

    Our speaker, Hexagon Brewing Company, located at 1002 Dutch Valley Dr. was not only interesting he brought samples! Owned jointly by Steven Apking and Matt McMillian thus far they have won 5 gold medals. 3 silvers and 1 bronze. According to their website they have interesting names for their beers such as Smokin Goat.  Hours of operation are 4 – 9 Monday thru Thursday, 4 – 11 on Friday & Saturday and 2 – 8 on Sunday. Plenty of opportunities for you to go and check them out. He also agreed to participate in our Oktoberfest, one more reason to give them a try. Along with brewing beer, he is a bee keeper and has his own printing company. Don’t know how the three items work together but if he gets into making mead he’ll have his own honey and can print his own labels.

    Next Week:  Jacob Tippens is bringing us Kelsie Critenton and the name is familiar but I don’t know why.  Guess we’ll find out together.

    I arrived late for the meeting and missed the pledge and prayer so don’t have a clue who did either and I haven’t convinced President Kerr to write this information down for me.  I did notice we had a “rug rat” at one table but don’t know who laid claim to him. Cute kid and I’m sure a Sertoman in training.  I was thrilled I did come, even though I was late as I was presented with a certificate for perfect attendance, an emblem for charity work and a gorgeous plaque of appreciation.  Thanks, Guys.
