Monday Morning

There were 14 members at our Monday meeting plus three guests. In addition to our guest speaker, Dr. Karen Meyer, we had Key Club member, Annie Moore.  She is the Key Club President.  Brian Olson joined us with tickets for the Walleye dinner. However, he was missing the other two members for their interclub. Happy bucks came from Gary Miller for the first interclub of the year. Pastor Dan Leeds and Linda were honored on their twenty fifth anniversary at Trinity Baptist Church. Dawn Scannell for her first interclub.   Remember – Marlin needs your ticket sales money as soon as possible.

Jackie King was the ticket winner. Unfortunately, she drew the Jack of Diamonds, no winner. Next Monday’s 50/50 Raffle will have 47 cards in the game including the eight pay cards with a pot of $57.

Karen Meyer, Agnesian Health Care

Karen Mayer is a board certified obstetrician/gynecologist. Keeping your newborn safe and comfortable is at the top of a parent’s priority list. It’s our priority as well. That’s why every baby born at Agnesian Hospital leaves with a sleep sack courtesy of the Kiwanis Clubs of Fond du Lac. We want to take every precaution to make sure our babies are safe. Using a sleep sack, along with the correct sleep environment, can eliminate some of the factors that might lead to s sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) tragedy. Keep loose blankets out of the crib. Newborns like being wrapped up snugly. The program started in 2010. We have given away over 3,400 sleep sacks. Other items used to help decrease infants deaths, babies sleeping on their backs and promoting empty cribs. That’s means no bumpers, blankets or stuffed animals.  Special thanks to Gary Miller and Jan Krug for their demonstration of the sleep sacks. All sleep sacks are purchased thru the Halo Company.

Monday Morning

There were 19 members at our Monday morning meeting along with two guests, our speaker Rob Servis from Agnesian HealthCare and Jackson Goldapske.  “Happy Bucks” were offered by Gary Miller also for this past weekend’s District Convention and by Vickie Goldapske for the start of school ☺.  There was no 50/50 Raffle drawing this week as the drawing materials weren’t at the meeting.  Sorry about that.  The next drawing on September 14th will have 27 cards with five pay cards and a pot of at least $333.  

Rob Servis, Agnesian HealthCare Wound Clinic

Each year millions of American experience chronic wound.  Agnesian Wound Care offers patients access to state of the art outpatient clinical wound care using a variety of clinical treatments, therapies and support services to treat wounds.

The Agnesian Wound Care team is led by Jon Moen, MD, general surgeon and medical director, in collaboration with Jonathan Stroebel, DPM, (foot and ankle physician) with the Agnesian Foot Clinic.  Agnesian’s physicians and healthcare professionals remain committed to helping their patients receive the care they need.

If you have a wound that has not begun to heal within four weeks or is not completely healed in six weeks, you may benefit from the therapies offered at Agnesian Wound Care.  If you have diabetic ulcers, traumatic wounds, burns or other chronic non-healing wounds, ask your provider if Agnesian Wound Care is right for you.
