Week 38 Update, Optimist Club
June 30, 2014 3:41 pm UncategorizedHappy 4th of July Week, Optimists!
We have a lot happening these few weeks. Here are the highlights:
June 28 –thank you to Jan and Kate for chairing our Relay for Life Team. Thanks, too, for our other Optimists who supported our team by walking and staffing our site. Don and Lou, Hans and Carla, Carla’s daughter and son, Angie, Kate’s daughters Shelli and Laura, Jim Mc. and I were all involved at different times. Our intern Kelly also helped to set up our site–which included hauling all of the pavers. I learned from Jan that our team came in third place with the fund raising, bringing in a total of $3,098! Way to go team.
This Tuesday (July 1), we will have a meeting to set up and clean the gyro stand at Cravath Lake. We will also have an informal social meeting and will order food the the crew. Duane will send out an updated work schedule for the 4th of July festivities this week. Duane–could you please confirm what time you would like folks to show up? THANKS!
On Wednesday, July 9, we will be staffing the Jefferson County Fair (for “Kids’ Day). PLEASE check your calendars to see if you can volunteer for even a few hours. There are still many open slots and we can’t put all of the pressure on the Zahn family to staff the entire event. I have reattached the sign up sheet for the fair.
Kelly is doing a great job sending out updates on club activities via Facebook. She just sent out another update. Feel free to check it out!
Our next board meeting is Tuesday, July 8 at 5:30pm at Jessica’s. If you haven’t responded to me yet, please email me to indicate your attendance.
July 15 at 12 noon will be our next on-campus Optimist meeting in UC 259A. Our guest speaker will be Steve Bertagnolli who will discuss our campus grounds–current and future projects.
We will have another paver painting gathering on Sunday, July 20 from 12pm-6pm at Kim and Angie’s House. We have some orders to complete from Relay for Life yesterday. Please email me to let me know if you would like to participate. We had a great time last Sunday. It’s a fun fellowship activity.
Thank you–and Happy 4th!
Kim 🙂
