WOW EVENT APRIL 6TH

The GATEway District is providing the opportunity to serve children and help others in your community. Our communities need individuals to help those who are having a difficult time due to the pandemic and other related stresses. Optimist International provides us the opportunity to serve those in need, especially children, right in their own communities. For over 100 years, we have been establishing chapters of like-minded, service-oriented volunteers around the world, who desire to be a force of positive change and make a difference in their community. You serve and work along side your neighbors, family, and friends.

There is a call to action for those of us who have the heart and desire to help others!

We are inviting you to spend 45 rewarding minutes with us on April 6^th at 7 p.m. Eastern Standard Time to hear well known speaker, Steve Dennis, a John Maxwell Director, present, “Designed to Make a Difference”, and be introduced to the Optimist story.

I was living in Auburn, Alabama and coming to visit my Mother who was staying with my sister Mary Still, in Tucker, Georgia. Since I would come visit on weekends, Mary invited me to the Tucker Optimist Club meeting that was on Saturday mornings at the local Piccadilly.  I used to be involved with another civic organization and I was very interested in what the Optimist did for kids and their community.  Soon I became a member of the Tucker Optimist Club!  I would leave Auburn, Alabama on Saturday at 5:30 a.m. Central time so I could make it to the 9:00 a.m. Eastern time Tucker Optimist Club meeting. I did this for almost three years until I relocated to the Atlanta area.

Mary has helped me grow so much through Optimist.  Since January 31, 2012, I have served as District PGI Chair two times, currently I’m serving as President of the Tucker Optimist Club for the third time, President of Hope 4 Kids for the second time, District Optimist International Foundation Representative and District Social Media Chair.  In the 9 years I have also served as a Lt. Governor twice, President of the YaYa Xpress Optimist Club, was treasurer of the YaYa club and a NCB Field Representative since 2016. I have traveled to many Optimist International Conventions with Mary.

Thank you Mary Still for introducing me to the Optimist organization.

Become a member of Optimist International! Develop a more positive, fulfilling outlook on life! Membership provides you with exclusive access to an organization dedicated to helping you become a better person.
