St. Patrick’s Day Dinner 2020 Has Been Canceled

The upcoming scheduled St. Patrick’s Day Dinner of March 17, 2020, is canceled. Leona Valley Sertoma, in an abundance of caution, chose to cancel this year’s annual St. Patrick’s Day dinner. We appreciate that our communities look forward to this event every year and apologize to all of our devoted supporters of this particular event, and of Leona Valley Sertoma, in general.

Leona Valley Sertoma did not make this decision lightly, but because we care about every member of all our communities. Continue to take care of yourselves and your neighbors, as you always do, and we look forward to better days ahead for all of us.

If you can help us spread the word of the cancellation we would be most appreciative. Please share on your social media platforms, in emails, and in conversation with your family, friends, and neighbors. Thank you.

Until our next gathering, GOD BLESS!

2019 Scholarship Program & St. Patrick’s Day Dinner

Are You Ready for what 2019 will bring?

The members of Leona Valley Sertoma look forward to what the new year will bring and to continuing some of their long-standing programs and events. These include the 2019 Scholarship Program and the St. Patrick’s Day Dinner, both have been around for quite some time.

Scholarship Applications for 2019 are here!

Can you believe it? The Leona Valley Sertoma Scholarship Program is twenty years old this year and still going strong. Leona Valley Sertoma established the Leona Valley SERTOMA Scholarship Program to identify and reward local students who have shown personal and intellectual qualities through academic achievement, as well as participation and leadership in extracurricular and community activities. Leona Valley Sertoma has given out close to $50,000.00, in scholarships since 1999. The goal of the program is to serve the needs of local graduating seniors and those community college students transferring to continue their education.

Scholarship consideration is also open to students attending Community college who live in Leona Valley, Green Valley, Lake Hughes, Three Points or Lake Elizabeth, who are transferring to a 4-year college.

Our most recent scholarship recipient was Margaret (Maggie) Mihaljevich. Click on her name to read the post and we welcome you to share our post on your Facebook page.

You can learn more about the Scholarship Program on our Scholarship Information page, where you can download the scholarship application form and the information sheet.

The St. Patrick’s Day Dinner has been going on in Leona Valley longer than I can remember and has always been a big crowd pleaser. Come out and join your friends and neighbors for a late afternoon get together that is always filled with good times and good food. This is one of the Leona Valley Sertoma fundraisers that is guaranteed to put a smile on your face as you enjoy good food prepared and served by the volunteers who work hard to make sure everyone is taken care. Your ears will enjoy it too, from the laughter and happy conversations of the attendees to the Irish music provided by the very talented Mayde In Ireland.

If you miss this year’s St. Patrick’s Day Dinner, you will have to wait a year for it to come around again, so make your plans now to put on something green and be a part of this St. Patrick’s Day Dinner event.

2017 St. Patrick’s Day Dinner – Review

A Big Thank You To All

This Year’s Leona Valley Sertoma St. Patrick’s Day Dinner could not have been a success without our volunteers and all those who came and dined with us.

A few days have passed now (3/23/17) since Leona Valley Sertoma hosted one of the greatest St. Patrick’s Dinner events EVER!!! We were blessed with perfect weather, which included NO WIND in our precious valley. We weren’t certain about the turnout because local families were on Spring break and due to respecting Lent, we thought many guests wouldn’t be eating meat, giving up dessert or not having cocktails. WELL, OUR THOUGHTS DIDN’T RING TRUE!

WE FED CLOSE TO 200 VERY HUNGRY PEOPLE!!! Actually, our preparation began six days ahead of time with the inclusion of staffing about 25 hard working volunteers, and in the end, we served 258 pounds of corned beef, 100 lbs. of red potatoes, 80 lbs. of carrots, 80 lbs. of onions and 55 heads of green cabbage – not to mention complimentary desserts of all kind, coffee and lemonade.

Our chefs, Bud Lehner and Bill Moore were guided by head supervisor, John Seymour. For two days their cooking expertise begun with firing up the stoves at 5am allowing the games to begin. Bob Reader and Ron Remy specialized in trimming and slicing ALL of the meat to perfection. Charlene Moore specialized in glazing some of the meat — Our staff included many of our members and local people, Home Depot servers, Live Again Christian Facility (using their muscle) and naturally many of our members focusing on specific details to make things run smoothly… Our treasurer, Juanita Kirkpatrick, along with friend Merrie Profitt, took care of the entrance tickets, Bev Brownfield, along with Tom Joynt served as the bartenders, Linda Joynt coordinated all decorations and member, Ray Mullins, took some pretty nice photos. I have to say that I, Jan Clark, had the honor of this year’s organization from beginning to end – Very proud day for us all and we look forward to what lies ahead for 2018. We Sertoman’s are most grateful for everyone’s energy and dedication and we sincerely thank this year’s sponsors for their generous donations that contributed to a most profitable and joyous event.

Gratefully yours,

Jan Clark – Chairman of the Board
