Jan 10 - Optimist Meeting announcement

Hello Everyone.

Winter Carnival is coming fast with or without snow! This Tuesday we have several guest joining us to discuss activities for Winter Carnival. Kimmi Onthank will give us an update on the Optimist Football Program and be discussing ideas for the Optimist Floats with the football players and cheerleaders. Last year we had two floats in the Parade and may do something similar this year. 

Also Sylvia Ryan and Jessicah Travis will join us. They would like to talk to us about the fund raisers they have planned during the Winter Carnival for the POTS and MYST programs. It should be a good meeting for discussions and planning.

Hope to see you there,
