Welcome to the upcoming May Third Quarter Conference!
We have quite a line up for you. The ever popular Oratorical Contest will be held on Saturday, May 11. We will also be hearing the winning essay entry. We will be awarding three young people a $3,500 scholarship, plus we give $100 to each of the 4 other oratorical contestants. IF YOU OR YOUR CLUB WOULD LIKE TO SUPPORT THE DISTRICT’S EFFORTS TO FUND THESE SCHOLARSHIPS, PLEASE SEND DONATIONS TO BILL O’NEIL.
I am also looking forward to the OPTIMISTS HAVE TALENT program on Saturday afternoon. I certainly hope none of our gifted optimists get buzzed from the stage!
On the membership front, we have fallen to a minus 16 for the year. Please consider sponsoring a member and getting your sponsor’s baseball cap. Remember our goal – plus 13 in 2013. We need to conduct at least one now program in each zone. Your staff is ready to help you do this.
Horse racing is back in the Hospitality Room.
Come to the conference and enjoy fellowship, gain knowledge, and share success stories and Pull Together for Our Youth!
Joe Madden
Governor of the Great Ohio District
