Greetings Optimists,

Another new member application has been received!!!! Michele Filip, a new staff member in the University Center at UW-Whitewater, has submitted her application to join our club. Michele’s application will be reviewed at the January board meeting.

No club meeting this week, December 20-26, or next week, December 27-January 2.

A reminder again that the annual club dues notification was sent out to our membership list (which is not the exact same as this email list). Hopefully active members can submit dues soon so Ken, Kate and I can update the club roster at the OI web site.

I’m sure there will be many unspoken thanks to you and the local churches, offices, and businesses who all combined with the Whitewater Pantry to make Christmas a little brighter and happier for families in our community who suffer from economic disadvantages. I just want to add my thanks to all of you for all you do for the club and the community.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to all of you!

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:

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.”

Greetings Optimist!!

As many of you probably know, UW-Whitewater was saddened this weekend with the unexpected passing of Mary Beth Mackin, Dean of Students and proud Warhawk supporter since 1988. Many of us in the club remember that she was also a past member, and past president, of the club. The campus posted this announcement this afternoon regarding an upcoming memorial for Mary Beth. Her humor, as well as her concern and compassion for students and UW-W, will be missed.
