Announcements

Greetings!

McCall Optimist Youth Football Director Kimmi Onthank will join us Tuesday morning to chat about the football program, the direction of the program, equipment needs, etc.  Kimmi has been doing a bang-up job in directing the football program, and I think you'll find the discussion to be interesting.  Hope you'll plan to attend - Tuesday, March 1st, 7:00 am at the Pancake House.


Flag Program

     Many thanks to those who put the flags up and took them down last Monday in observance of Presidents' Day!!!  McCall looked festive and proud!


30th Anniversary Celebration

     Mark your calendar for Saturday, March 19th for our big 30th Anniversary Celebration.  The Optimist Club of McCall was chartered in March, 1981, and we've had lots of outstanding accomplishments since then.  This will be a fun opportunity to celebrate with other members, past members (some of whom we haven't seen for a looooong time), Optimist dignitaries, members from other clubs (including our "parent" club, the Boise Noon Optimists), family members, guests, and various friends of Optimism.  Festivities will be held at the McCall Golf Course Clubhouse, with Social Hour beginning at 5:00 pm and Dinner at 6:30.  Chef Sean Thueson is renowned for his culinary talents and is sure to please all.  More information/details will be forthcoming in the very near future.  


Thanks,

Jim
