Sertoma Club will be hosting the
2010 Sertoma Fall District
Conference at Western Hills
Lodge on October 8-9, 2010.

In order for the
Owasso shop to continue
operations, the board thought
"outside the box" and held a
dance to invite prospective
clients. There were around 67
people and it looks like they
will pick up enough new clients
to keep their doors open and
service that area. Another
dance will be held Dec. 18.
