JOSEPH SCHNEIDER

I joined Sertoma in 1969 and was the Charter Secretary of the original German Village Club. After rejoining the Downtown Columbus Club in 1975 and truly learning about Sertoma and becoming President, District Governor, State Director and then International Director I helped our Club build the Powell Sertoma Club in 1997. When the Downtown Sertoma Club disbanded in 2013 I switched my membership to the last Club I was associated with. I am truly enjoying being involved with all the members and fundraisers and serving as Vice-President while also serving as Regional Director of the Great Lakes Region on the Sertoma National Board.
