Welcome to the Colorado/Wyoming Optimist District

The Colorado/Wyoming Optimist District would like to welcome Terri Kearney as our 2020-2021 Governor!!!

2020-2021 CO/WY District Governor Terri Kearney

The theme for this year is: Putting the Pieces Together

My logo is an arrow moving forward and is made up of five puzzle pieces. Each puzzle piece is needed to make a successful Optimist year.

• Optimist International is always available to support us and the website has a wealth of information
• Colorado/Wyoming District has ongoing support:
  • Governor’s
  • Colorado/Wyoming Optimist website
  • Colorado/Wyoming Facebook Page
  • Quarterly Conferences
• Junior Optimist Clubs are a crucial part as they are making a difference in their communities and are the future leaders to continue the Optimist Legacy
• Optimist Club Members are the ones bringing out the best in our youth, our community and ourselves
• Community – It is the community that is why we exist

I am looking forward to Putting the Pieces Together as we Choose Optimism!

Yours in Optimism,
Governor Terri Kearney
