| The
James E. Shepard Sertoma Club  Although
truly a citizen of the world, having traveled in the Far East and
Europe, and having maintained a life long interest in mankind everywhere,
Dr. Shepard's great love was for his native North Carolina. This
great love of his native state was exhibited in his passionate devotion
to an institution which he founded for the training of the youth
of his race. It was through this promise that this organization
was named after Dr. James E. Shepard.
The James E. Shepard Sertoma Club was chartered in June of 1983 with 25 charter members. The club serves as an affiliate of Sertoma International which is an organization comprised of business, self-employed, agricultural, professional and related commercial interest citizens knitted together in the bonds of personal friendship and united by the concept of service to man kind. The name SERTOMA is an acronym of the words SERvice TO MAnkind. The club involves
itself in several fundraising projects. The proceeds from these
projects have made it possible for the promotion of civic responsibility
through community service. Contribution of monies and donation
of time by the members to various charitable agencies have created
opportunities which otherwise may not have existed. The primary
efforts of the club result in benefiting those with speech and
hearing impairments. However, many other charitable causes are
addressed. Our
