Townwest Sertoma Club

IN THE NEWS Congratulations to Townwest Sertoma’s Service to Mankind 2009 recipient, Tim Nall and his company We B Trees and We B Haulin’. Tim has been a valuable asset to this community for many years by helping out whenever he can. This year he helped the club with finishing the demolition work on the Chamber House project. He donated the dumpsters and covered the tipping fees for all the debris from these projects. The club donated $200 to Ed Taylor to help buy toys for the children he sees as he portrays Santa Claus at a local hospital. Townwest Sertoma donated $150 to Potter’s Clay Mission to help with Christmas baskets. We also donated money to Western Neighbors to help provide Thanksgiving baskets to the needy.
