UW-Whitewater/Community Optimist Club

Greetings Everyone,

For the sports fans in the club, what an exciting weekend we just had!! Whippets and Warhawks and Badgers, Oh My!!

• Tuesday, March 17 (tomorrow) we’ll meet at 12 Noon in UC 259A for our Youth of the Month meeting. Lunch will be catered and cost is $7.00 each.
  • FYI, I let the UW-W catering chef pick our menu for the Youth of the Month meeting dates. I’m not sure what the menu is for tomorrow. I’m hoping for an Irish theme.
  • Also at tomorrow’s meeting, there will be a short, 10-15 minute, presentation/wrap-up of Trivia Night 2015.
  • Our speaker for tomorrow’s meeting will be Dr. Beverly Kopper, UW-W Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs.
  • THERE IS NO MEETING NEXT WEEK OF ANY KIND for the club. UW-W and the Whitewater School District are on spring break which will mean some/many people will be on vacation, including me.
  • Our final meeting for March will be an evening meeting on TUESDAY,  March 31 at 5pm at Jessica’s Restaurant. Our speaker will be Tom Grosinske, Washington Elementary School Principal and new Whitewater High School football coach.

• Speakers for upcoming meetings are:
  • Tuesday, April 7, Kat Shanahan, UC Promotions Coordinator
  • Tuesday, April 21, Deb Weberpal, Senior Coordinator for the Seniors in the Park program in Whitewater.
  • Wednesday, April 29, – no speaker yet (perhaps a fellowship event?)
  • Tuesday, May 5, –  Cameron Clapper, Whitewater City Manager
  • Tuesday, May 19, Tami McCullough, UW-W Campus Facilities Planner.
  • Wednesday, May 27, Karen Wislocki, Director of the UW-W Intensive English Institute.
