Beaverton Optimist Club Minutes 5-2-2013

Hello Everyone: 

Board meeting Monday 6:30pm at the PAL Club.  Hope to see you there.

Couple of activities you can participate in. 

First tonight, May 2, 2013,  CPO6 is having a meeting from 7-9pm at 20665 SW Blanton in Aloha at the TVFR N. Command Center.  Speaker is Metro Councilor Craig Dirksen.  Round table discussion.  

This weekend the Aloha Library is moving their Annex, if you have some time to help please come out.  If you would like more information please contact Eric Squires.

Saturday May 4, 2013 from 10-1pm,  NW Bicycle Safety Council is having a helmet fair at Vernonia Elementary School.  If your interested in volunteering please contact Susan and I will add you to the volunteer list.  

Bruce announced that on Monday May 13th NWBSC will have it's birthday.  They started back in 1996 and as he said many of the folks in Optimist were there for the first event.  

This last weekend we gave out 176 helmets at the Cedar Hills Crossing Safety Fair. 

Bruce mentioned that the owner of CG Construction was closing his business, he donated a 2005 Ford Cargo Van to NWBSC.  

Tom Baxter was with us this morning, he brought his checkbook and is back.  He gave an update on Barry who has had a couple of surgeries.  He was trying to get in shape for his back surgery and hurt his shoulder so he had his back surgery first recovered from that and then had shoulder surgery.  He's back to work but he can't lift anything with that arm and Tom was saying it won't be until September or so.  Tom got a new job 2.5 years ago that has kept him very busy, plus they had another child that too has kept him busy.  

Jack stopped by and chatted with Vern a couple days ago.  Vern really enjoyed the visit and Wally said that he had called Vern and chatted with him as well.  Give Vern a call or go and see him.  

Jack brought in a new gavel that he made.  Asked what he was doing to do with the other gavel Jack said he'd use it for firewood.  

Firewood Splitting:  2 cords have been split. Bob A. wants to make more dates for more splitting, said the wood is really good. We will discuss this at the board meeting.  

Bob A. is going to Idaho for vacation, Wally is going to be covering for him.  

Marv D. mentioned that Alan was a real trooper at wood splitting.  

Marv D. received a letter from Beaverton High School asking if they could help them get a flag in every classroom.  They are also going to be saying the Pledge of Allegiance each day as well.  Thank you Marv for your hard work on this issue.  

The West side Singers concert is coming up on May 11, 2013 at 7:30pm, Wally has tickets if you'd like to purchase them.  Bruce stood up and said that it's a great concert, well worth every penny.  

Last weeks raffle winner was Jack, he donated his $ 6 to the Dean Mitchell Scholarship Fund.  This weeks winner was the Prez, Bob A.  

Wally passed around a bottle for NW Childrens Outreach, Wally will deliver the money.
