Dear Members of the Ohio District:
It is a great honor to serve as your Governor for 2007-2008.
As I have mentioned before, I believe that we need to maintain and strengthen our clubs. By doing this, we will be able to continue with all of our Youth Programs. I am a believer in the P.G.I. (Personal Growth and Involvement) Program. By participating (it’s FREE) you help your self, your club and your community.
We also need to continue the CCC (Childhood Cancer Campaign) and The OI Foundation. But this year, we will have a new twist to both of these great causes.
At the 1st and 3rd District Conferences, the Foundation Representative, Matt Gloor, will hold fund raising activities strictly for the Foundation. The CCC Chair, Michelle Gloor, will ask for donations but will not have a raffle, etc. Then at the 2nd and 4th District Conference/Convention, CCC Chair Michelle will do the fund raising activities strictly for CCC and OIF Chair Matt will only ask for donations. We will not be having several raffles at each District conference.
I am planning on having special monthly recognition awards for members, officers and Lt. Governors throughout the year. Information can be found in the District Handbook and will be available at all conferences.
Remember…..Optimists: Bring out the best in children!
Yours in the Spirit of Optimism,
Sharon M. O’Neil
Governor 2007-2008
Ohio District of Optimist International
