Thanks to Emily Daws and Diane Cepon for taking the leadership with this new fundraiser. Let’s make this day a HUGE success…don’t forget to wear your Blue Optimist Shirts... let the community know that you are proud to be an Optimist. Nominations Seems like we just finished electing the 2014-15 Optimist Board Members, doesn’t it? Our Election Year Activities span a two month period—March & April. Dale Gullickson, President-elect, is chairing the Nominations Committee. If you have an interest in ‘throwing your hat into the ring’ for being a board member or vice president, please let Dale know by March 4th. Remembering Ray Bayley Ray was a Charter Member of our Club in 1961. At his memorial service, there was a table dedicated to his work with the Optimist Club. In recent years, his declining health prevented him from attending our weekly meeting, but, he continued his membership from 1961-2015(54 years). Rest in Peace.
