UW-Whitewater/Community Optimist Club

Greetings Optimists,

On behalf of Kim and my self; this note is coming out a bit early because there are some important activities coming up and we thought getting early information would help you get these events on your calendar, now. (hint, hint)

First of all, A BIG THANK YOU to the 15 members who attended and to those members who brought 14 guests to the NOW meeting this past Tuesday. It was a great turnout and the “models” for our style show were a terrific hit! Thanks to each of them! Also, a huge thank you to Kim for the great slide show she put together while she was on vacation last week!

Please contact the guests you brought to our meeting to thank them for attending and ask them to JOIN!

The two news items this week: our Tuesday lunch meeting on the 18th is another Youth of the Month meeting. Due to the school closings last month we get two YOM’s this month. Remember, we will be back in our regular room, UC 259 from noon to 1.

THERE WILL BE NO NOON MEETING ON THE 25TH. Our monthly evening meeting is set for Tuesday, Feb. 25th to be held in the Warhawk room of the Lakefront pub downtown (the former Novak’s). We’ll start with a social and fellowship activity at 5 pm and a very important meeting about the future direction of our club will take place at 5:30 pm. Members will be able to order off the menu, if they so choose, but PLEASE, this is a very important opportunity to give input into the future of our club. Please make every effort to attend.

The other big event we have coming up is Trivia Night on Feb. 21 in the Hamilton Room. We are also STILL IN NEED OF TEAMS!!! It would be great to have a few teams come from our club’s membership. Consider getting a few of your office mates and friends together for a fun filled evening!

Lastly, Kim is ordering a very nice polo shirt from Aropa Designs in time for use at the Trivia night. They are of that new wicking fabric in purple with either a white or silver Optimist logo for only $22. Any one working the Trivia event can get one if you let Kim know what size. It’s only in men’s sizes so please order accordingly. Any other member who would like to update their Optimist wardrobe can order one also, BUT ALL ORDERS must be with Kim by 3 pm TOMORROW, to get them in time for next Friday.

Looks like the weather is finally going to break the freezing mark so have a terrific Hearts day and a great weekend!

Thanks–and will see many of you on Tuesday!

This is going to be a great year for Optimism!
