Meeting of January 5:
​• After a two week holiday break, our meetings resumed on January 5 to start the new calendar year. We have completed the first quarter of the 2015-2016 Optimist year, so congratulations and thanks to President Rick for leading the club to such a good start. We can look forward to an excellent year for the next three quarters. 
 
​• There was no speaker scheduled for the meeting, so club business was the order of the day, but there were updates on several club activities:
         Plans for this year's Pass/Shoot/Dribble basketball skills contest for kids.
         An additional request for a grant from the Polar Bear Fund for Morrisson Elementary.
         An Optimist Essay Contest update.

Christmas Sharing Report:

The 2015 event was held on Saturday, December 12, 2015. The school provided a list of 18 families for us to serve this year (49 children are in this group). The budget for the 2015 event was set at $2900 with the help of a $1300 contribution from Cargill and other donations throughout the year. Volunteers met at the Kroger store at 1934 Needmore Road at 10:30 AM on the 12th. Volunteers teamed up by two's, and each team shopped for a given family, and then delivered the groceries to that family.  It was a great turnout, with about twenty club member/family member volunteers, plus over thirty volunteers from Cargill. Afterwards most of the volunteers met for lunch & socializing at Marion's Piazza on North Dixie at Noon.  The club wishes to thank Cargill for the financial support of the program, and also to the Cargill employees and families who volunteered, plus all of the volunteers and supporters of the program.
