INTRODUCING 2024 - 2025 OPTIMIST INTERNATIONAL AND DISTRICT EXECUTIVE TEAM
GOVERNOR’S CHRISTMAS GREETINGS – 2024 Christmas is one of the most joyous times of the year, and the AMS&NW Optimists continue to make it special for all the people that we serve. As your Governor, it gives me great pleasure to wish for you and your families, a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year in 2025. These few words are to let you know that your hard work and active participation contribute to the success of our district. As amazing optimists and volunteers, I want you to know that your value is inestimable, and we are so grateful to have you as part of our team this year. Continue to let your Optimist light shine, as you are making a positive difference in the lives of those that you touch. I encourage you to continue to be ‘The Man in the Arena,’ and not just a critic on the sidelines. There is no effort without error and shortcomings, so be encouraged to continuously improve and to strive for excellence and experience the triumph of high achievement. Excellence drives success. Nothing liberates our greatness like the desire to help, the desire to serve, and your selfless actions is the source of strength for the district. You give selflessly of your time, talents and treasures to make this world a better place, and to enhance the development of youth. You are great role models for others to follow, so the call to action is that you exercise your duty and persuasion power as Optimists and uphold high moral standards. To you, much has been given, and much is expected in return, so remember your position of privilege, and let nothing disturb your peace of mind as you bring out the Best in youth, our communities, and indeed, bring out the Best in yourselves. I wish for you my Optimist friends that you have a joyous Christmas season filled with lots of love, fun, great fellowship and wonderful memories, and of course good food. Have a fabulous holiday, and I look forward to continue serving with you as Optimists, as we press on to the greater achievements of the future. Blessings, Governor Dwight December 2024 |
