Greetings SWIS District Optimist Friends,
An Optimistic Hello to all our Optimist Friends out there in the SWIS District!!!! They say ‘time fly’s when you are having fun. We must be having lots and lots of fun. Four months until we move into a new Optimist year.
A couple messages to share in this Governor Newsletter and dig into a little deeper from my perception
I pick these two quotes as I believe if we look further, we will see they firmly support each other and also have a connection with being an Optimist. Let’s take a look in the Governor's Message.
We live in a daily whirlwind, many still employed yet others find themselves retired and volunteering. Many times, the volunteer hours result in more than a normal work week. My point being, we find ourselves without enough hours in a day. As strange as it may be, what we are doing, an 8-hour work day or volunteering, we enjoy ourselves and gain satisfaction for our efforts. It is this feeling of contentment that opens the door to tomorrow, wondering, as good as today was, how can tomorrow be better?
Our district conferences and events are geared to help our clubs achieve more by sharing ideas and learning together.
