2010-11 District Secretary-Treasurer
Optimist Connie Plenke
My primary role as the District Secretary-Treasurer is to provide administrative and financial management support to Governor Ted and the rest of the District Team and Lieutenant Governors throughout the Optimist year. I encourage all clubs to file their reports and pay their OI and District dues in a timely manner.
Connie joined the Breakfast Optimist Club of Bozeman in 2006 and has served as Club Secretary since 2007. She received an Honor Club Citation and Distinguished Club Citation for 2008-2009.
Why did you become an Optimist? My husband was a member and I always helped out with the fundraisers and Kid's Fish Derby so thought I might as well become a member myself
We have some excellent resources for Club Presidents and Secretary-Treasurers in our 'Members' section of this website, where you will find forms, information sheets, and other important information.
What do you enjoy most about being an Optimist? Working with the kids, meeting new people and getting to know my fellow optimists.
I encourage you to attend the quarterly District Conferences to attend Secretary-Treasurer training. If you cannot make it, you can self-study the same material:
