Happy Optimist New Year Optimist!
Thank you so much for being an Optimist and making a positive difference within your community.
A brief introduction: I am Bob McFadyen, 2022-2023 OI President. I live in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada and am a Member of the Kitchener West Optimist Club. I have been a Member for 29 years and one of my favorite Club projects is our Children's Christmas Party. My goal as President is to connect with you and grow our impact (of course). Every month I will send an email with “Just 3 Things” - my own message, something I’d like to spotlight, and a list of the upcoming activities in the Optimist world. Just 3 Things.
To open the lines of communication so we can learn and grow together, I’d love to hear from you directly! Please reach out to me with any issues or concerns. You can reply to this email or send one directly to me at: presidentbob@optimist.org. Or call me - my cell phone is: 519-500-9458. I’d also love to hear YOUR stories! What activity do you really enjoy. The big and small ways your Club makes a difference in your community. And why you and your Club keep doing what you’re doing.
There are changes happening with the future direction of our organization and I will share those changes with you as I am able. Look for two membership initiatives that I am introducing next month, “Just Invite” and “Partners in Optimism” program.
A new Optimist year brings renewed energy and enthusiasm. We need to work together to strengthen our organization so that we can continue to bring out the best in youth, our communities and ourselves.
“I believe any success in life is made by going into an area with a blind, furious optimism.” - Sylvester Stallone.
Let’s keep moving forward together with blind, furious optimism!
