Greetings!
What a gorgeous weekend we've had! Perhaps summer has finally found the mountains.
We'll be honored to have John Fronk and his parents join us at this week's meeting. John was the recipient of our 2011 McCall Optimist/Dehlinger Memorial Scholarship. Scholarship Committee Chairman Mike Kohout will introduce John and his parents, and he'll give a summary of John's background, accomplishments, etc. This will be our last weekly meeting before we break for the summer. Please make every effort join us for this meeting, congratulate John, and get a few updates on recent events and those to come - Tuesday, June 7th, 7:00 am at the Pancake House. We'll be in Santa's Sweet Shoppe, just to the left as you enter the restaurant.
I've heard from very reliable sources that the Optimist Senior Party was a resounding success once again. LOTS of happy graduates and good things went on. We'll get an update from Paul Gullickson and crew on their perspectives of the event. An enormous THANK YOU goes out to all who planned, organized, procured donations, contributed, set up, chaperoned, cleaned up, and made the party happen so successfully!!!!
Flag Service - Many thanks also to the folks who put up and took down flags last Monday for Memorial Day. Town looked outstanding! We've heard a new record may have been set in putting flags up (or was that taking down?) - under an hour! Hmmmm.... records were made to be broken! Who's up to the challenge? Our next flag day is Flag Day - Tuesday, June 14th. We'll be looking for "up" crews and "down" crews. Please lend a hand if you can. (The competitors in our group can work on breaking that record.....)
We had a great presentation last week by Golf Pro and McCall Golf Course Manager Allan Morrison to discuss the plans and vision for "Jazz On The Green". You'll be hearing a lot more about this event in coming weeks. Please mark your calendar for Saturday, August 13th. It promises to be loads of fun and has the potential as a major fund-raiser for our club. You should start seeing "official" information/promotion very soon, but it wouldn't hurt to mention it to your friends, acquaintances, relatives, strangers you bump into at the store, etc. Let your out-of-town contacts know, as well. This will be an event well worth travelling to our beautiful mountains. An opportunity to enjoy phenomenal jazz performed by several talented artists in one of the most gorgeous mountain settings on the planet, and at a very affordable price. We're inviting Optimists (and their families and guests) from far and wide to join us for the event. Don't miss this one - Saturday, August 13th!
See you Tuesday morning!

Promise Yourself....
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
