On October 4th, Ann Ronchetto ran her first meeting as the new president for 2008-2009. With Jan reding as Secretary and Jerry Vaughan as Treasurer, she will have the support she needs. This is a strong team.
Ann brought a few things to the board that were received really well and they were good suggestions.
1) is that Board meetings will be the first Saturday of the month at 7:30 am.
2) that on the months when we have 5 weeks, that the last week is a bye and no meeting, giving us a well needed Saturday off. These were great suggestions and were accepted immediately as all of us could use that extra day off. Ann will send out more information on this.
There were some good discussions and topics of the Halloween Hayride event coming up and that the club will need to elect a member for the Pillar this year, so get your thinking caps on to make your selection when it comes time.
Christmas is right around the corner and we have our dates set up. They will be December 6, 7, 13, 14, 20 & 21st. If you received one of the flyer's from the City View, it stated it would also be on November 27th but not for the Optimist Club.
The Santa Train will be coming on Friday the 19th. So get prepared as we all like to see this.
Jan will be getting the information together for the Nuts and Candy and will looking into the popcorn with the Marshall group. More to come on this.
Jan presented with a beautiful plant from Dale for her work this last year, she was not at the banquet as she had just gotten back from Egypt.
