Great News from Action Sertoma Club

GREAT NEWS FROM THE ACTION SERTOMA CLUB

During 2016 and over the past several months, the Action Sertoma Club held two huge fundraising events. These events exceeded expectations for the amount of people who attended, and the funds that were raised.

In July 2016, Action Sertoma had their 12th Annual Golf Outing at Odyssey Country Club in Orland Park, IL. Over 200 golfers and volunteers attended. A great time was had by all. The weather was perfect, dinner and cocktails were served, and many prizes were awarded.

In October 2016, the latest fundraiser was held at Gaelic Park in Oak Forest, IL. The event was the Action Sertoma Club’s 2nd Annual Rocktoberfest. This year over 330 people attended to support over 1,500 people that are being served each year at Sertoma Centre, Inc. Over $10,000 from this raffle was awarded to the winners.

Over $80,000 from these two events that were held this year are donated to Sertoma Centre, Inc. and other worthwhile needy people and other organizations in the southwest suburban area. Sertoma Centre, which is located in Alsip and Matteson, IL, serves people with disabilities, including physical, developmental, autistic and mental illnesses.

The Action Sertoma Club would like to thank over 530 people who attended these two fundraisers. They also want to thank over 120 people who donated their time effort’s by volunteering, as we could not do it without them.

Another event of importance is the Action Sertoma Club’s “Service to Mankind Award”. This award is presented to a person who is not a member of the Action Club, but volunteers their time and efforts in helping others in their community.

This year’s Award went to Mr. Dale Lux of Oak Forest, IL. Dale has been volunteering for over 25 years in the Oak Forest area, and was long overdue to receive this recognition. Dale is a member of St. Damian Church and Men’s Club.
