Good morning!
Yes, we're having a meeting tonight - 6:30 p.m. at the Jerome Senior Center in Jerome - but I'm not sure what is on the agenda. I'm still waiting for a Vice President-type or Secretary/Treasurer-type person to contact me to tell me what's going on. (Sheri? Julie?) But, until then, I'm making it up as I go along:
Breakfast with Santa is set for this Saturday, December 18th at St. Jerome's Parish Hall in Jerome. Breakfast will be served from 7:00-11:00 a.m. but Optimists need to be there between 5:30 and 6:00 a.m. (yes, in the morning) to help set-up and decorate which activities will then morph into serving, cooking, cleaning, entertaining, laughing, talking, drinking coffee, more cooking, more cleaning, mixing, ladling, flipping, tossing, turning and finally, ending. A good time will be had by all, I'm certain of that!
Pre-Breakfast with Santa will be on Friday evening at St. Jerome's where we'll unload all the foodstuffs for the next day's extravaganza. I don't know what time we're meeting - need confirmation from Chair Lori Tangen - but I'll let you know ASAP. If you're available on Friday evening to help, we'll take all the help we can get. Between moving food from Harvey's truck to the church and then loading and unloading all the Breakfast with Santa stuff from the storage unit i.e. my garage, helping hands are very....well, helpful. Stay tuned for more information.
Update on Captain Bob - I sent out an e-mail yesterday with Bob's specifics as to how to make contact with him at the VA Hospital in Boise. If you need that information again, please let me know. And Bob, if you're reading this, please know that you're still in our thoughts and prayers! Kudos on the excellent progress! :)
End-of-year meeting schedule - No more meetings for 2010! I'll advise of the 2011 meeting schedule when we have it figured out. Until then...
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Jerome Optimist Club!!
Happy Wednesday!
