Marshalltown Noon Optimist Newsletter - June 6, 2002 Presidents
Corner “Have
fun, Share your Optimism, and Do Your Best!!” This
header is a direct quote from Governor Judy's growth contest.
That's what we are doing here in our club in Marshalltown, isn't it
great! The money we’ve raised is
going to some great youth projects. We
have received thank you's from a $500 Scholarship winner, Anne Pilkington;
Quakerdale for a $100 donation; and from Child Abuse prevention Services.
We'll be passing these thank yous around at today’s club meeting.
It feels so great to be a part of an active club like ours, making such a
difference in so many kids lives. Be
sure to sign up for working at the Junior Golf meet with Bob Wenner. Those students can really get low golf scores!!
My golf score is like a bowling score and vice versa.
What talented youth we serve. Remember
on the 13th, next week, that we will be meeting at Elmwood and eating out!! I'm sure we'll have great weather too!! Thanks
to all of you that showed up last week on Friday to share John and my joy at
getting married. The wedding is coming up this weekend at Pine Lake, anyone can
come as it is out at the Lake. Go
right from the spillway parking area along the walking path, past the picnic
table and coffee cooking on the grill. The
time is a little after 5:00 am. We
want to have the ceremony end at sunrise, which is at 5:38 a.m. I know you aren't morning optimists, but noon!! Keep
up the great work we've been doing this year and remember to . . . Have
fun, Share your Optimism, and Do Your Best!! Optimistically
Yours, Mary
