My employment brings me into the community and I have been very blessed by<br \/>\nthe people I have met there.  I have looked for ways to give back to the<br \/>\ncommunity and I was recently introduced to Sertoma.  I have agreed to help the<br \/>\nSertoma organization to establish a club in the Houston area.  As you are<br \/>\nprobably aware, Sertoma is a service organization, similar to Kiwanis, Rotary or<br \/>\nLions, that specifically supports the Hearing and Speech impaired communities.<br \/>\nTheir website is www.sertoma.org.<\/p>\n<p>I am writing you in an attempt to strengthen the launch of this organization in<br \/>\nHouston.  Sertoma is in other communities around Texas but, for whatever reason,<br \/>\nis not found in the Houston area.  I want to correct this situation.  I would<br \/>\nappreciate any suggestions you may have for reaching into the community to<br \/>\nstrengthen the club so it can optimally support the hearing and speech<br \/>\nimpaired.<\/p>\n<p>Also, if you are aware of individuals in the Houston area who would be<br \/>\ninterested in participating in Sertoma, I would love the opportunity to speak<br \/>\nwith them.  I am awaiting some formation paperwork from the Sertoma national<br \/>\nheadquarters in Kansas City, but as soon as that is in hand, I would like to<br \/>\nstart working with a core group to get the club formed and functioning in its<br \/>\nintended purpose.<\/p>\n<p>I would appreciate hearing your thoughts and any help you may be willing to<br \/>\nprovide.<\/p>\n<p>Best Wishes,<\/p>\n<p>Robin Winslett<br \/>\nFinancial Advisor<br \/>\nWaddell &amp; Reed<br \/>\n17625 El Camino Real<br \/>\nSuite 240<br \/>\nHouston, TX 77058<br \/>\nv: 281-461-9660 x 123<br \/>\nf: 281-461-9664<br \/>\nEmail: rwinslett@wradvisors.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wanted to write and introduce myself and the project I have become involved in.
