Happy to meet you!

Self-introductions at the Eagle Optimist Club luncheon

Today we welcomed guests Jodie Correa and Joyce Little to our Optimist Club luncheon. Unfortunately our guest speaker, Kevin Miller from KIDO, was a no-show and our program instead celebrated the success of the club level  Oratorical Contests.

Three contestants will be traveling to Salem, Oregon to participate in the District competition for the Communications Contest for Deaf and Hard of Hearing students.  The students, Cassidy Flake, Jessica Gutierrrez, and Ricky Clark will be joined by instructor Jana Dunagan and Optimist Club members Mike Harris, Myrna Harris and Linda Jackson.

In other business, Ben Gard updated us on the purchase of a tree to recognize the Goldman family who graciously donated their property for our 2010 Christmas Tree Sales. Working with the City of Eagle, Ben has arranged for an Arbor Day planting of a Chanticleer Pear Tree.

Mr. Miller promises to reschedule soon so he can talk of his plans to travel to Afghanistan with the 116th guard unit from Idaho.

It was a great meeting today. Why not visit us soon?
