MEETING NOTES

June 19: 19 members, and 1 guest today. Our guest today was our speaker Kathy Rayner, from the Literacy Council of Bay County. Literacy in Bay County has been on a continual decline, and as such the schools are now asking for, and allowing, student tutors in schools, where they had not been allowed to go in the past. Tutors receive 11 hours of training, and tutor 1 day a week for 45 minutes on a 1:1 basis. There is also a summer reading program that currently has 53 children enrolled. For more information on volunteering, you can contact the Literacy Council of Bay County at 989-686-8700 or 989-892-5002.

***********************************************************************************************

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.

The Optimist Creed

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. To be to large for worry, to noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble
