UW-Whitewater/Community Optimist Club

Thanks to Kim for rubbing it in that she’s in sunny Arizona while we are dealing with some of the most dangerously cold temps in nearly 20 years! LOL I’m just envious that she’s there and we’re not…

Due to this “deep freeze”, I really need to know how many people will actually be able to attend the meeting tomorrow. Since we will pay for 15, even if we only get 3 or 4, we should look at perhaps making a good decision for our members who do not work on campus and would therefore, be more exposed to this dangerous cold. And let’s not forget our members who would need to walk to the UC from their buildings. Even short walks could be dangerous.

I am asking for RSVP’s from anyone who is planning to attend. If we have at least 12 positive responses for people to attend, we could still plan for it. If not, I think we should wait til next week. Yes, I know that would mean a 3 week hiatus, but it’s really safer for those who wouldn’t normally be out and about due to the brutally cold weather. I will collect the responses and report back either way by 4 pm today.

Thanks for your timely replies!

This is going to be a great year for Optimism!

Happy New Year Optimists,

I send you warm wishes from sunny Arizona.

Thank you to those members who will be serving as judges for the Academic Decathlon this coming Friday, January 10.

Please also mark your calendars for a FUN fund raiser (Community Trivia Night) which is scheduled for Friday, February 21 in the Hamilton Room at 6:30pm. This event will be co-sponsored with the Student Optimist Club.

In March, we will have a chance to take tickets for gymnastics and track events for another fundraiser, as well as participate in the W3 Wellfest community event at Whitewater High School.

Thank you to Jeanine who will be leading our club meeting this Tuesday, and to Denise who will be our guest speaker about her trip to Europe.

In Optimism,

Kim
