Optimist Club 2014-15, week of September 21
September 21, 2015 Uncategorized No CommentsGreetings Optimist!!
The Packers won, the Badgers won, and the Warhawks won their respective football games this past weekend. No wonder the sun was shining today!! (Repeated from last Monday’s message, may it continue!)
Tomorrow, Tuesday, September 22, WILL BE a regular club meeting day. One business topic is voting on the “Slate of Officers” for 2016-17. Hopefully all of you received and reviewed the emails from Jeanine Fassl about voting. In addition, we will honor our Youth of the Month from Whitewater High School. Our speakers will be Lauren Hageman, outgoing Club Intern, Allison Langenkamp and Callie Watry, fall semester club interns, speaking about what they learned (Lauren) and what they will be doing and hope to learn (Allison & Callie). We will also likely be hosting 4-5 potential new club members!! Please come and join us in UC 261 for the meeting at 12 Noon. Lunch will be from UW-W Catering. Lunch cost is $7.00 each.
Once the executive board is approved for 2016-17, they will establish their monthly meeting dates and times. Once those dates are known, we’ll let all club members know in case you have any business items for board consideration.
The Trivia Night 2016 committee continues to meet regularly. Kim Adams will provide an update at our meeting tomorrow.
I have begun working with one of the fall semester interns, Allison, to provide more messages per week about our club and its work. These new, additional messages will be posted on the web site and then automatically reposted on the Facebook page. One of the first things Allison pointed out to me was the lack of a new member application link on our web site. I fixed that! If you look at our web page, you will find a link on the right hand side labeled “Membership Application Brochure.” If potential new members (or you) click this link, it will open the document from the Optimist International web site that includes an application for membership. Changes and updates such as this will enhance our web site and Facebook sites and hopefully get our message out to more people. I’m looking forward to more ideas such as this from Allison and Callie this fall.
Our Facebook page has 98 “Likes” now, 1 more than last week.
Dates for upcoming club meetings and events include:
- Tuesday, September, 29, Installation banquet at 841 Brew House. Social hour begins at 5pm. Dinner begins at 6pm.
- Tuesday, October 6, noon meeting.
- Tuesday, October 20, noon meeting. Youth of the Month from Whitewater Middle School.
- Tuesday, October 27 evening meeting/social event at the home of Kim Adams and Angie Alesci.
That’s all for the moment.
Share the Optimism,
