Optimist, Week 17, January 29, 2017
February 9, 2017 2:15 pm UncategorizedHappy Sunday, Optimists,
Here is our Optimist news for this week:
1) We will meet this Tuesday, Jan. 31 at 12:00pm in UC 259B (next to where we usually meet). Frank Bartlett (Optimist member and Director of University Housing) will be our guest speaker. We will also recognize Youths of the Month from the Middle School.
2) Please contact Lanora or sign up on line to help out with Trivia Night if you are able. Last Friday, Lanora indicated that we only have 27% of the slots filled. We are now less than three weeks away from hosting the event. Please remember that we would welcome gift cards, homemade items and other donations for the silent auction. We also could use extra clothes baskets/wicker baskets for the silent and bucket auctions for the event. Please contact Kim if you are able to assist. Jan has sent out a note to team captains for Trivia Night. We welcome your assistance in helping to recruit teams for the event. We are nearing 20 teams, but would still like to recruit 10 more teams. Last Friday, Kim was interviewed on WFAW regarding Trivia Night, and a story appeared on the Whitewater Banner. Many news outlets have been contacted. We are grateful for all of the support.
3) We will be organizing the Optimist Storage Room this Tuesday, Jan. 31 from 4:30pm – 6:00pm in Starin Hall. If you are able to help out, please contact Kim (we will need to let people into the hallway area). Kim’s cell is 608-201-2151.
4) Thank you for participating in the Optimist meeting survey that Brandon Lindhom sent out. We discussed the results at last Tuesday’s evening meeting, and will be making some decisions at our next board meeting on Feb. 15.
5) Thank you to Wes Therrian who has already built one buddy bench for the Lakeview Elementary School Landscaping Project. More news to come on that project in the coming months.
6) Watch for more FaceBook posts by our Optimist Interns. Also, our most recent Club calendar is updated on our Club website. More updates will be added regarding guest speakers as Dave works on his list.
We are grateful for your Optimism! As always– “just keep smiling!”
Kim & Angie 🙂
