Optimist Club minutes April 18

Just an FYI- The wood splitting that had been set for Saturday, tomorrow, has been postponed.  However if you are available Tuesday April 23 and April 24th Bob Arneson plans to be up at the Jenkins Estate starting at 8:30am to whenever they wear out.  If your able to come out and join please do so.  

Update on the bulletin boards.  3 of the 4 are complete.  Jack was planning on gluing the largest of them together yesterday and today.  Then it will be time to install the soundboard.  He suggested we have a presentation to the Aloha Library at the breakfast meeting next Thursday.  Jack gave me, Susan, kudos for doing the intricate painting of the letters he routed out.  I spent 2 hours doing this process, very fun.  If you want to help Jack give him a call.  

Wally passed around a poster for a fundraiser for Beaverton High School's Community Music Scholorship.  The West Side Singers will hold this concert.  If you want to purchase Tickets you can get them from Wally.   Program is May 11, 2013 at 7:30pm at Beaverton High School.  Pre ticket purchase is $ 8.00 for adults, $ 5.00 for Seniors 60+.  At the door $ 10.00 for Adults and $ 7.00 for seniors 60+.

Last week's raffle winner was, I never win Bob P.  He mumbled about how little he won.  This weeks winner was Alan.  

This day in History 1989, Tianenmen Square Protests.  

Our Speaker was Mark Creevy a volunteer for the special community measure for the Beaverton School Levy.  We had a spirited discussion on the matter.  The Beaverton School District is asking for 15 million a year over the next 5 years to keep on 150 teachers.  Mark explained that this money would stay in the community instead of going to Salem and then being allocated out to the communities.  A typical household will pay $ 24.00 a month.  

See you all next week for our presentation of the bulletin boards to the Aloha Community Library and for a speaker Tom Collete, School Board Candidate
