Community Groups

The recently formed Sherman book club meets once a month to review and discuss a book that was chosen from the previous month.  The meetings are held the third Monday of the month at 1pm at the Town Hall.  This is an informal gathering to socialize and discuss books that are selected by the group.  We connected with the Mercer library who has graciously loaned several books to our group.  If you are interested in joining or learning about the current month’s book, contact Jann Clark at (920.370.9950) or [email protected]

Sherman Connection

SPARKS is an auxiliary of the Sherman Volunteer Fire Department.   The purpose of this group is to raise funds which are donated annually to the Fire Department.

Membership dues are $1.00 for a lifetime membership.

 

The fundraisers for our organization are as follows: 

The Resale Shop:  The shop opens the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend.  From this time forward we are open every Wednesday and Sunday from 12:00 Noon to 4PM.  We stay open throughout September, weather permitting.  The resale shop manager determines the closing date which may vary from year to year.  The shop is staffed with 2-3 Sparks members for each shift.

Annual Bake Sale and Basket Raffle:  This event usually revolves around the July 4^th weekend.  Sparks members and some community members bake items to be donated and sold at the sale. The baskets provided for the raffle are also donated by Sparks members.

Annual Firemen’s Corn Roast:  This is the largest event that our community has and it is held in Mid-August.  The Sparks members are responsible for collecting the hourly raffle prizes from surrounding communities.  We are also responsible for manning the food stand during the event and helping with set-up and clean-up.

Anyone with a willingness to help our organization is always welcome.  Our meetings are held the 2^nd Monday in May, June, July and August starting at 6:30pm.  We have a meeting in September usually around the 4^th Monday of the month to close out the year.

New members are always welcome. Join our friendly group even if you are new to quilting.  You will soon be enjoying a lifelong hobby of creating beautiful quilted projects for you and your family.  We not only have quilting members, but some bring their knitting, cross stitch, crocheting, doll making, and other hand work projects. The coffeepot is always on!  For additional information contact Betty Larum at [email protected]

Strong Bodies

TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) is a weight loss group that focuses on members to help them lose weight or maintain a healthy weight. We also learn more healthy eating habits and how to maintain a healthy weight.  A new member pays a one-time fee of $43.00 which covers membership fee, educational materials and a magazine that provides inspirational stories of member’s weight losses, healthy recipes and helpful articles on healthy eating and living habits.  We meet weekly at the Town Hall on Tuesday mornings. Weigh in starts at 7:15am and the short meeting starts at 7:40am. After the short business meeting we take turns providing short programs focusing on good health. If you are looking at trying to lose some weight or maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle, this is the group for you. We are a support system for other members. We celebrate each member’s weight loss and encourage them if they are having a hard time losing weight.  New members are always welcome and encouraged to attend. Come to a meeting and see if this is the group for you. You can attend a meeting free of charge to see if TOPS is for you.
