Donna says "Fly to the TOP"
From the Desk of Your 2011-2012 Governor: Donna Priester
The wonderful Winter Holidays are upon us all and upon the communities we
live in! I have had great fun reading the newsletters that many of the
Optimist Clubs in the Colorado / Wyoming District are sending me! The
exciting projects that clubs are doing to provide special celebrations
for children during this time are fabulous - mittens, hats, toys, food,
meals, shopping ---- just to name a few and the variations on these ideas
shows the creativity and caring of our members.I am always proud to be an Optimist, but at this time, I smile continually as I see the generosity and love provided by you! Some are doing fundraisers during this time of the year and I notice that they all involve bringing joy to others - selling trees, wreaths, poinsettias; providing Santa Trains and breakfasts with Santa; providing parties and get-togethers. I could go on and on, but I just want you all to know that Optimism is alive and well in the Colorado/Wyoming District and that you are loved by many for all you do!
Love to you!! Donna
