OUR MISSION
Sertoma exists for the high and noble purpose of SERvice TO MAnkind by communication of thoughts, ideas and concepts to accelerate human progress in health, education, freedom and democracy. Based in Kansas City, Missouri, the organization was founded on April 11, 1912. Over the years, individual members have brought forward their talents and joined the collective experience of thousands to chart a unique course of action for community service.
Our Main Event
The majority of our scholarship fund is raised during the Sun Fiesta which Women's Sertoma has sponsored and organized since 1994. The first official Sun Fiesta was in October 1973. It originated to provide the community its last chance to get together before the 'snow birds' started migrating in November! It has remained one of the most beloved events of the year for the citizens of Venice. The celebration includes a parade, bed races, arts & crafts, food, music and dancing.
