News for August

Fellow Optimists:  No meeting in August because of the "Go Hog Wild" - Jerome County Fair.  However we have two events this month that we need your attention:

August 15th - Joe Mamma Car Show - Beer Garden.  Rotary has asked us to host the Beer Garden for an opportunity to make $250 to $300.  Marsha and Bill have agreed to chair the project.  Marsha has one guest she will be bringing.  I spoke with Bryan Craig this morning and he is going to email me the details.  

August 23rd 9:00 a.m. @ 93 - Golf Tournament.  This is our big money maker.  So PLEASE show your support and either sign up a team or sponsor a hole.  If you would just like to donate an item for a prize give away or the treat bags please call Julie 308-2750 or Sheri 308-3264. 

Toys - Wal-Mart - I met with Deb Hayes on Tuesday (7/29) who donated more toys and miscellaneous items to the Club.  There are two games in Spanish which I would like to give to Lori Tangen for the St. Jerome's Catholic Church. I believe Lori still works with the 2nd and 3rd grade students.  Unless I get any objections I will proceed.  There are some Duck Dynasty items, squirt guns, puzzles, etc.  If you have a need we can fill let us know.  We also have a lot of small Halloween items if you know of anyone that can use them.

Finance Report - Youth has a balance of $52 (we are waiting for a reimbursement check for $300 from the Fishing Derby which should be here soon) so our balance will be $352.  Admin has a balance of $1100 (dues are paid for the year).  Savings I think is about $113.

We will hold a meeting September 3rd 6:30 p.m. at the Jerome Senior Center which has a new director Julie Stone.  We are looking for new Members so feel free to invite them to Golf or attend our September 3rd meeting.  

Thanks for your continued support!
