A group of local Optimist Club members are in the process of building a new Optimist Club.<br />What is an Optimist Club? We are part of the organization - Optimist International. (<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.optimist.org/default.cfm?lang%3DFREN&source=gmail&ust=1607539173658000&usg=AFQjCNFWrOMuGPiCdud_8G8gGHF9aLa3Ng" href="https://www.optimist.org/default.cfm?lang=FREN" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.optimist.org/<wbr></wbr>default.cfm?lang=FREN</a>) This organization just celebrated its 102nd anniversary, bringing optimism to members world wide. Through our optimism we serve the community by "Bringing out the Best in Kids". We have clubs in 28 countries world wide.<br />What to expect as a member?<br />* The fellowship of proactive people with<br /> optimistic mindsets<br /> • New social and working relationships with<br /> individuals from a cross section of our<br /> communities<br /> • The opportunity to develop and demonstrate<br /> leadership skills locally, regionally, nationally<br /> and internationally<br /> • The satisfaction of making a difference in<br /> our communities<br />Whether you are searching for an outlet to help<br />your community, personal development, or<br />rewarding camaraderie, you’ll find what you’re<br />looking for with your local Optimist Club. <br /><br />Because of COVID all our meetings will be virtual until it will be safe to gather and we have a long list of activities we can do virtually. Come be part of the information zoom meeting on Monday, December 14th at 7:30pm. The meeting will be held in French. Tell your friends - we only need 15 new members to start the club. This would be such a wonderful Christmas present for the Franco-Albertans. <br />Please contact me at - <a href="mailto:ilze.epners@gmail.com" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">ilze.epners@gmail.com</a> for the zoom link.<br /><div><br clear="all" /><div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature" dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Ilze Epners </span></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Vice-President 2020-2021</span></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Optimist International</span></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Région Saint-Laurent</span></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">St Lawrence Region</span></span></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Edmonton Dinner Optimist Clubhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18423702741215070678noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880163719713075444.post-4009062273748286322020-11-22T10:42:00.000-07:002020-11-22T10:42:04.924-07:00November 23 Meeting <p> Our meeting is on Monday November 23 6:15pm and will be a Zoom meeting on November 23 Monday 6:15pm.
