Good Evening Optimist Members,

Here is this week’s brief update:

Our guest speaker for Oct. 8 will be Larry West on “Attracting Young Go-Getters.”

Board members, please send your feedback for the 2013-14 budget to Denise by Oct. 15.

Please note that we will have an important business meeting on Oct. 22.  All are encouraged to attend and weigh in on some important decisions.

We will have a storage room cleaning session on Friday, Oct. 25 from 3:00pm-5:30pm.  Please email me if you are able to assist.  We will also pass around a sign up sheet at the next few meetings.

We hope to continue to see new faces at our meetings.  Please continue to invite guests.

Thank you for your dedication to our club,

Kim 🙂

Greetings Optimists,

Tomorrow begins our new Optimist year.

Thank you again to Jan and Mike for their leadership of our club in 2012-13.  And…thank you to all of you for your commitment to our club, as well as to the ways in which you help serve our youth and our community.

Marijuana and I are looking forward to a great year.  Please watch for short emails once per week about various club updates.

Here is this week’s note:

Oct. 1, 12:00pm—Guest speaker Tyler Salisbury from the Black Sheep.

Oct. 1, 5:15pm—First Board Meeting at Rick and Jeanine Fassl’s home (Thank you, Fassls!).

At our Installation Banquet last Tuesday, members committed to inviting guests to our meetings.  Please remember to extend an invitation to friends, family members and colleagues.  I have two guests coming tomorrow who are looking forward to learning more about our club.

More updates to come soon.

See many of you tomorrow!

In Optimism,

Kim 🙂

Greetings Optimists and Supporters,

I am honored to be a part of this wonderful group that strives to “bring out the best in kids.”  Likewise, I am looking forward to our new Optimist year and to serve as co-president with Marijuana.  I know that our new SWIS District Governor George Breadon will be a great support to our club, as will the student members from the UW-Whitewater Student Optimist Club.

Thank you for the hours you serve and the talents you share with our local and surrounding communities.  YOU DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!  Thank you to our incoming Board of Directors for your willingness to help move our club FORWARD in our outreach to the community.

We are looking forward to a fun and productive year.  Watch for more updates on our club Blog throughout the new year.  Please know your ideas are always welcome. Thank you to Dave Halbach for keeping up with our Blog and helping us expand the way we tell our story and communicate with others.

Lastly, welcome to any new or interested members.  We have a place for you–and we are grateful for your willingness to explore or join our organization.  Our members are the lifeblood of this fine service group.

More to come in October…

Always in Optimism,

Kim  🙂

Our blog is in it’s beginning stages! I am super excited to have this resource for our group. If you have questions or suggestions please let me know 🙂
It is definitely a learning process but it is empowering to learn something new!

Enjoy,

Amberly
