District Goals
Fellow Optimists:
I know you are excited about the opportunities you have this year to do more in your clubs and in Zone 5 to help kids than ever before. You will give children hope and a positive vision. You will make a difference! Reach out today and ask a friend, neighbor, son or daughter to help share the load and have fun doing it. Just be yourself and ask with your heart.
Here are the District Goals that I am asking everyone to actively contribute to:
- Provide conferences featuring additional practical and movitational training and information through an increased variety of speakers and formats, more entertainment, and more fun.
- Increase the effectiveness of the District in bringing helpful and timely resources to all clubs on a regular basis in both traditional and new communication formats, and from the clubs back to the District.
- Bring the success of Essay, Oratorical, PGI, Junior Golf, Childhood Cancer Campaign, CCDHH, Curling and the new Internet Safety into more clubs on a long term basis to help more kids.
- Increase our financial giving to the Optimist International Foundations of Canada and the United States through building stronger bonds with members, clubs and the Foundations and strengthening both as a result.
- To work closer with and grow more JOOI clubs.
- To build Friend of Optimist membership in all clubs through clearer presentation of the benefits and appeal of FOO members.
- To retain current members and add members and new clubs with an end result of a 6% net membership gain and the addition of 9 new clubs.
