Zone 4 Glowing in Possibilities

This has been another fantastic week in Optimism for me.  I am so delighted by the great projections for fund-raising and service projects coming out of West Portland; the high level of energy and enthusiasm about ensuring sustainability of service to the children of the Caribbean from Kingston Breakfast and West St Andrew; and the strong demonstration of new initiatives, emerging leaders, and potential for new members and club building at Sunset Liguanea.
The March 8 meeting of the Sunset Optimist Club of Liguanea was teeming  with excitement as, among other interesting reports, the Chairpersons for New Club Building and Childhood Cancer Campaign got the membership hyped around their drives to both expand the movement and increase the chances of making lives better.  Supported by a very strong showing of potential Optimists the members of Sunset Liguanea were just glowing in possibilities especially as the nominations committee announced candidates for club president and president elect to serve the 2012-2013 administrative year. Of course, the 2010-2011 Chairperson of the Year and the club's Finance Chair, Latoya Wade came in for much praise in being rewarded for her continued excellent work at whatever level of responsibility she assumes.
Add all of that which unfolded from my four club my visits this week to the activities being undertaken by OC Kingston Central for the children of city Kingston and the heat of vibrancy being generated in the small rural St Mary community of Castleton Gardens by OC Scenic Castleton and you will begin to understand my delight. But the tremendous support being generated for the Zone fundraiser - Oliver Samuels' hit family play, Who A Di Don, set for Sunday March 25 at 5:00 p.m - is even more thrilling.  So too have been the regular dialogue with President Sandi of OC Bayfa, Nassau who is pulling out all the stops to keep the hopes of the Bahamian children alive.
Thank you all Zone 4 leaders and members for bringing hope and positive thinking to the world.  Optimism - Bringing out the best in children.
