For more than nine decades a special group of individuals have strived to uphold the creed “Service To Mankind,” they are Sertoma. The first official meeting of the service club was in 1912, women became a part of the organization in 1985.
In 2008 a group of hard working women in Upson county who wanted to be a part of this organization got together and decided to form their own Sertoma Club. They told some friends and they told some friends and before long the Sertoma Women of Upson was formed. The Charter had a total of 58 members making it the largest club charter in 10 years for both the men and women's Sertoma clubs nationally.
