^lub Formed to Help East Winston's Disabled By DAVID L. DILLARD Chronicle Staff Writer Clarence Dalton knew nothing ? - e> about the Sertoma Club until he was invited to a meeting last year. Then he helped establish one. The meeting, organized by the Stratford Sertoma Club and the Old Salem Sertoma Club, was held to set the new Central Sertoma Club to serve children with disabilities in the East Winston area. "We found that there was no one club specifically serving the* East Winston area," Dalton said. "The club was formed primarily to work with people in East Winston but not limited to them." Sertoma Clubs were established to work with people with hearing and speech impairments, but they also assist the elderly und others in Dalton, owner of Dalton Realty, was so vociferous that members named him president of the new club when it was chartered last August. The predominantly black, 39-member club, whose motto is would be turned and when we called his name, we got no recognition from him." Pennington said she and Seth's parents, Mitch and Pat Pennington, The club's motto is: "Making life worthwhile for ihose less fortunate . " "making life worthwhile for those less fortunate," has already begun fulfilling its aim since becoming chartered. The club's first major project was to help pay for the hearing aid and surgery for Seth Pennington, a two-year-old born with a hearing impairment. Pennington's grandmother, Bonnie, said the family noticed that the baby's hearing was a problem when he was around 14 months old. "He didn't seem to be hearing anything at all," she said. "His back started searching for an organization that would help support the opera tion. "I called everybody and got so upset It seemed strange to me that nobody seems to care that this little boy can't hear," she said. Finally, Pennington contacted Dal ton and the new club began rais ing funds. "We researched the situation and found out they were working poor and not making enough money to pay for the surgery," Dalton said. The club held three fund raisers and raised $ 1 ,500 to help pay for the operation. Seth continues to have speech therapy weekly and three days a week. He attends Ardmore United Methodist Church School, a sub sidiary of the School for the Death in Greensboro. Dalton said they have also held a health fair at Cleveland Avenue Homes earlier this year where more than 100 people were given check ups for high-blood pressure, sickle cell traits and hearing test "We raise funds to put back into the community," he said. "We also work with our youths to give them encouragement and a better direction in life." The Central Sertoma Club is open to all interested people. The club meets the first and third Mon days at Mayberry's on Stratford Road. Seth Pennington , 2, got help to pay for surgery from the Sertoma Club. Youths Discuss Ways to Offset Violence 0 ? ? ?
