Greetings Optimists,

Our next general member meeting will be August 16 at 12 Noon, in UC 261. Our speaker with be Traci Wilson, updating us about W3 (Working for Whitewater’s Wellness).

 

Once the officers/board members for 2016-17 are voted on, an announcement will be sent out through the various community publicity channels announcing the board and that the club is continuing to serve the community AND that the club welcomes new members.

 

Current events needing helpers:

NFL “FUND CRAZR” RAFFLE TICKETS!! We are now selling the final 13 of 200 total tickets for this year’s NFL Fund Crazr raffle.

 

Please return any money for sold tickets, ticket stubs, and any unsold tickets to me by August 18!  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. Selling 200 tickets will probably net the club $2,400. If you haven’t bought one for yourself yet, contact me to do so. There are about 10 club members who could simply buy one ticket each and we would be out of tickets.

 

Warhawk Football Ticket Taking. There are still some time slot needing workers. Check the Google spreadsheet, “2016 Football Ticket Taking,” for the last few remaining slots. Hopefully, you can use the link in the spreadsheet title in the previous sentence to edit the spreadsheet and add you name in the appropriate cells. If you have trouble entering your name, let me know and I’ll help.

 

Do you have a topic you would like to present to the club? Do you know someone who could speak to the club? Job related? Travel related? Sports related? Youth related? Let me know if you, or someone you know, would like to present. See the dates below where we need speakers.

Greetings Optimists,

A huge THANK YOU to the nearly 50 people, club members, UW-W Student Club members, High School Octagon member, etc., who helped with this past Saturday’s “Breakfast with Santa.” Carol and Jim Miller counted 611 people served, 326 children and 285 adults. I would encourage all of you who helped to look back for any special moments from Friday or Saturday, write them down and share them with us. I would like to share your stories about the day on our web site and Facebook page.

A huge THANK YOU to a club member, who wishes to remain anonymous, who donated $500 to Breakfast with Santa in honor of Don Zahn. The donor specified that the money was to be used to pay for ALL of the children who attended Breakfast with Santa.

While Santa may have been the main attraction this past Saturday, Frosty the Snowman was VERY popular also. Thanks Jim McLernon!

Nearly 700 photos from Breakfast with Santa were uploaded to the Club’s Flickr page. To see the photos, follow these instructions:

  • Upon entering the website search “optimist bws” in upper right hand corner

Greetings Optimist!!

I see this coming Saturday’s forecast is “Sunny, low of 28, high of 47.” Should be a great day for Breakfast with Santa, the Warhawk football playoff game at UW-Oshkosh, and the UW-W Gala Holiday Concert in the evening.

Thanks to Rick & Jeanine Fassl for spending time today in the Club’s storeroom checking out Christmas trees and lights for this Saturday’s Breakfast With Santa!!

Our club will be meeting tomorrow, December 1, at 12 Noon, in the University Center, room 259A. It will be a “bring your own lunch” meeting day. We’ll use most of the hour to stuff the goody bags for Breakfast with Santa. Hope to see you there!

Please review the BWS signup web site. We can still use some helpers this week, Friday afternoon, and Saturday morning. If you haven’t already signed up to help, please consider it. Decorations and equipment moving begin at 11:30 am on Friday, December 4. Decorating in Esker begins at 1:00 pm.

Thanks Duane and Barb for working on the Toys for Kids program! Duane sent me the following message this afternoon.

“We are all set for Monday, December 14, 2015 for the wrapping and sorting of all the toys at the Whitewater Food Pantry. The Whitewater Food Pantry is located in the old Armory on North Street across from Ketterhagen Ford Dealer. We will start the wrapping and sorting around 5:30pm. If you have any additional Student Optimist Club members that would like to help please be sure to invite them.”
