Optimist Club 2015-16, week of July 18, 2016

4:56 pm Uncategorized

Greetings Optimists,

Our next general member meeting will be this week, Tuesday July 19 at 12 Noon, in UC 261.

!!! A Call for 2016-17 Club Officers. Seriously, who’s willing to be President for 2016-17, or President-elect for 2017-18, or Vice-President for 2016-17? That’s really all we need for new officers at this time.

I have received word from two club members they would be willing/able to be on the board as an officer or general board member next year, depending upon what time of day the monthly board meetings are held. Also, Jan Olson, Kate Ksobiech and Ken Ksobiech have all indicated they would be willing to continue on the board in their current officer roles. I WILL continue on the board as past-president and will be more than willing to assist with weekly emails, web site updates and Facebook postings.  So…what would YOU like to do next year to contribute? We only need three new people. Perhaps one that you’ve not held in the past? Please begin volunteering to be an officer for 2016-17. Contact me or Kim Adams if you’re willing to be an officer for next year. “Many hands make light work.”!!!

Current events needing helpers:

NFL “FUND CRAZR” RAFFLE TICKETS!! We are now selling the final 50 of 200 total tickets for this year’s NFL Fund Crazr raffle.  Please return any money for sold tickets, and the ticket stubs, to me as soon as possible.  If you can’t sell all the tickets you presently have, I will be able to give them to other club members who have “sold out” their own set(s) of tickets. All sold ticket stubs and unsold tickets must be returned to the SWIS District before August 28. 100 sold tickets will net the club $1,200. 150 sold tickets will net the club $1,800. 200 tickets sold will net the club $2,400. If you haven’t bought one for yourself yet, contact me to do so. There are about 20 club members who could simply buy one ticket each and we would have nearly half of the final bundle of tickets sold.

Warhawk Football Ticket Taking. You all should have received an email from Frank Bartlett with sign up dates/times for taking tickets at this fall’s games (thanks Frank!!).

No weekly email update from me next week, I’ll be on vacation! (But if anyone else wishes to send out an email to keep us up-to-date, feel free to do so!)
