In October, Minot Sertoma Club donated $20,000 to Minot Public Schools to fund 50+ new classroom sound field amplification systems for use in the district as well as an accompanying research study to measure the impact of this technology on classroom teachers’ practices that will be conducted by Dr. Holly Pedersen at Minot State University. Sertoma’s mission is to improve the quality of life today for those at risk or impacted by hearing loss through education and support.

Sertoma’s Annual Christmas Light Displays Return to Oak Park November 29th!
Minot Sertoma Club’s Christmas in the Park returns for the holiday season opening on Friday, November 29th. Located in Minot’s Oak Park, the displays are open nightly through Tuesday, December 31st. Hours are 5:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and until 10:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. The entrance fee is $5 per vehicle. Additional entrance fees apply for limousines and buses. Cash is preferred, but a QR code to pay by card will also be available.
In addition to over 60 yearly favorites, this year’s lighted displays will include several new and unique displays. Students at South Prairie School and Burdick Job Corps provided their welding skills to weld the frames for a few of our beautiful new displays.
A highlight for volunteers at the entrance hut is when they receive a “pay it forward” and get to share the news with the next vehicle that the people in front of them paid their entrance fee. On some nights the pay it forward can continue for many, many vehicles. It truly shares the holiday spirit for all involved.
Volunteers also enjoy handing out candy canes for the kids and dog treats to four legged customers. Many park visitors plus up their experience by stopping at the DQ for soft serve or at Oak Park theatre for popcorn and snacks. Or they grab a hot cocoa or coffee at a local coffee shop to enjoy while touring the light displays.
Sertoma’s Christmas in the Park is the Minot Sertoma Club’s largest community fundraiser. It is entirely coordinated and staffed by volunteers who include: Sertoma members, their friends and family, along with additional support donated by Minot Parks. Local businesses and organizations are also essential supporters of this fundraiser with display sponsorships.
All proceeds from the event are donated back into the community to a variety of local groups, with a focus on hearing and speech services and youth. Since 1959, Minot Sertoma (SERvice TO MAnkind) Club has raised and donated more than $1 million dollars in the Minot area.
