UW-Whitewater/Community Optimist Club

Greetings Optimists!!

How about this afternoon’s weather?

On to Optimist business:

• There is no club meeting this week. However, there is an Exec Board meeting tomorrow, April 14, at 12 Noon.
• Our next club meeting is Tuesday, April 21 at 12 Noon.  We will meet in UC 266 this day due a request from the Chancellor’s Office to use our regular meeting space that day. Please plan accordingly.
• Thanks to Therese Kennedy, Teshona Bennett, Kate Ksobiech, and Jim McLernon’s Mom, for volunteering to review the 2015 Whitewater High Scholarship applications for the annual Optimist Club Scholarships!!!
• Need help around the house or yard for spring cleaning? Hire a UW-W Student Optimist!
• A message from the UW-W Student Optimist Club and Kim Adam’s Service Learning Class “ We are still in need of donations for the birthday box project.  Things such as birthday cake mix, candles, streamers, wrapping paper, balloons, party hats, birthday cards, party plates, party napkins, gluten free and sugar free items. We are asking for all donations to be dropped off by April 21st to Kim (Adams).”
• The UW-W Student Optimist club is collecting children’s school playground equipment such as Kick Balls, Soccer Balls, Basketballs, Footballs, Frisbees, and Jump Ropes. If you would like to help donate please review the information flyer at our website.
• I have begun developing a Club calendar using Google Calendar. It’s only useful if there is lots of information so feel free to add club related events to the calendar for the future. This includes planning start dates for club events such as Whitewater High School scholarship reviewing, food ordering for the Gyro Stand, etc.
• Would a few of you please test the Club calendar link and let me know if you can see and/or edit the calendar? Thanks.
• I have updated the web site to include the Exec Board minutes Since November 2014. Click the “Club Documents” link to find many of uploaded club documents.
