This weeks meeting started to a small but active crowd and a Doty invocation.
Traveling Optimists: Michael Stack returns from southern states (sorry Michael for your loss). When the snow leaves the passes, Jack Franklin is leaving for a trip of several weeks. Alan Z knows where or when?
Bob Arneson in Scout uniform presented our club with our scout troop’s charter for this year with a thank you for our support through the years. In addition, Bob presented our club with a $600.00 check for Marv Doty’s help with this year’s tree collection funding program. Thanks Bob and the Scouts for the donation to our club.
Raffle: today’s winner was non-other than Bob Arneson ($6.50), not this Bob oh well. The best part was, Alan missed paying himself for last week, so within the ops. he forfeits!!!

OI Internet Safety Awareness Month: The month of April is internet safety awareness month and Alan showed some films from OI cautioning children in grades one through four – of dangers they should be aware of. They should not give out information to anyone unknown and be aware of the dangers of chat rooms and to tell their parents if they feel threatened. Dave Chrisman shared a story of his nephew’s fatal accident a few years ago, and alert parents to be watching out for low windows that kids can fall out of.
Essay contest Winners: Did you see the District Web Page last week picturing our winners?
Today’s Fines: ?? As the meeting progressed fines were being addressed but not collected - but were collected after some reminders. No call on secret greeter, no birthdays. This was a loose meeting but a fun one optimist style. You should have been there!!!!
