Hello All and greetings from your new Optimist President, I want to thank everyone for the opportunity and privilege to work with you. I am especially excited that we have some new members on the Board of Directors and look forward to some new ideas to explore.
We are meeting on October 27th at St. Michaels. I will be traveling back from the Midwest, and since the Bowl-a-thon is October 28th it makes sense for Skip to run that meeting. Please make an effort to attend.
Going forward our meeting schedule will be the first and third Saturdays of each month. That means November 3rd and 17th , December 1st and 15th and January 5th and 19th. So mark your calendars!
Finally, we need more prizes for the Bowl-a-thon. Do you have an old gift card you haven’t used? Consider donating it. Ask a business owner you know or do business with if they can help. Make a basket yourself that we can use. While it looks like we are doing pretty well with bowlers, we want them to have fun and come back next time. Prizes do that and provide substantial extra income for the groups we help. Please spend a few minutes and think is there something I can do to help.
Ok that’s my drive by guilting. Lets have a great week!
And the Club Optimist of the Year Award goes to…………Skip Griffin!
For his hard work and dedication to the club!
Skip has put in countless hours chairing our past couple of fundraising events. If you really would like to congratulate him, let him know you have a gift card donation for the Bowl-a-Thon!
