FORT SMITH SERTOMA

Sertoma International is the third oldest civic organization in the United States and one of the smallest with about 17,000 members. We are an International organization with members in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Our organization's main focus is on communicative disorders, however, member clubs have been given the latitude to sponsor those activities which will most benefit the community... The Downtown Fort Smith Sertoma club was founded on December 5, 1953 and has made a difference in this city for over half a century. In keeping with our primary focus of speech and hearing sponsorships, we not only assist needy individuals to obtain hearing aids, but also conduct a number of activities designed to increase public awareness of Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL). These activities fall under a national program called Sertoma Safe Ears. We also assist the Area IV Special Olympics by providing medals for their annual Track and Field events competition.
