You
lucky Optimists! Today you get three
pages of this stuff. Page 2 is a poem
stolen from the internet, and page three
is the flier on the Christmas party
we are having on December 1 at
Vigilucci's. Marie Calander's site has
been turned into a spectacular spot
to dine, and your board of directors has
lined up a great holiday deal that won't
break your Christmas bank account.
Send in your reservation to Diana
Drummey today.
Back
to the routine blather. We had a good
crowd today--about seventy diners
needing an extra supply of chairs. Did
we run out of sticky buns? BJ and Senor
Jepson seemed to handle the crowd and
all their five dollar bills. Bill had
limes for everyone, but BJ forgot the
tequila .
We
had our Gov. Lucille Lemieu and her
husband Former Gov. Bert as guest. They
had another former Gov. Ron Foster in
tow. I suppose this to be sort of a
papal visit investigating the
performance of our new president.
Guests
eat free, and guess what. We had a bunch
of guests. Denis Dorman dropped in. Bill
McClure brought daughter Kathleen.
Bill Parry brought Sarah the Cheese
Lady. Jim Cooper had his daughter Kathy
Mellor, Andrew Huminston, and Nate
Bothwell who tag teamed as our speaker
of the day.
But
first we had a Thanksgiving Prayer by
Dick Madouse, and a pledge to our flag
by somebody up front. Then we sang HBTY
to Ed Behm, and paid heed to the
anniversaries in the club of Jim
Cartright (since 1991) and Paul Dudley
(since 1994).
Claudia
Ludlow had some good news to share. She
will miss our Christmas Party because
Claudia will be in San Francisco
receiving an award to the Glorietta Bay
Inn as winner of the Best Guest Service
Spot in California. Wow!
Congratulations, Claudia. Casey Reynolds
followed with good news from the bowling
front in the midwest where his grandson
bowled 247, 257, and 235. You heard it
here first.
ALERT
ALERT ALERT Jennifer Landry has her
Junior Optimists working hard at the
middle school. And she needs some
help Friday night. The Junior
Optimists are helping with a Leukemia
Fundraiser at Qualcomm stadium tomorrow
night and her car isn't big enough for
all the kids.She needs a second driver
to bring the children home. You would
pick up three youngsters at 8PM at
Qualcomm where Jennifer would be with
the second car, take them for a snack at
In and Out Burger, and then drop them at
home in Coronado. You need a car with
three seat belts and an ability to drive
with happy teenagers around you. Call
Jennifer at (619) 392-8855 or e mail her
at jenniferannlandry@yahoo.com.
Thanks from the club.
The
Dingmaster is looking for a new title.
How about Torquemado. His team of
RATFINKS set up a dozen or so of their
friends. John Bowen learned that rank is
no protection. Wear your pin on your
lapel and not on your badge. Carry your
Optimist Card at all times and give
every living creature a smile. And send Mark
your tidbits at Mark@Blumenthalinsurance.com.
Happy
Jack Couture won $47 in the fifty-fifty.
Jim
Cooper introduced his daughter who
has a school that teaches
leadership and public speaking to young
people. Kathy Mellow talked
about growing up in Coronado, winning
all the local public speaking
contests except our Club's contest, and
so she never got to be coached by
our own master, Captain Hook.
Kathy had
two of her associates with her.
Andrew Humiston is a student of her's
who talked about Virtue, public and
private. Nate Bothwell coaches along
with Kathy and he filled us in on the
need to teach young people about leaders
of the past so that they will be
equipped to take over in the future.
Now
don't forget Jennifer's request for a
driver, and send in your Christmas
Dinner Reservation. Happy Thanksgiving
to all and to all a good night!!
