Reflections.2 from OI-CDC 2013

Governor Lynden's Closing Charge…

We must complete this important leg similar to the Usain Bolt-Asafa Powell final leg exchange; ensure that the incoming team gets the baton in a good position and have the advantage of a good start. 

It's more about keeping Optimism alive and positioning our District to be the best that we can be.

As part of achieving this I have challenged our New Club Building team to deliver the other four clubs before September 30. 

I also make my pledge to enlist at least two new members over the next two weeks...

I challenge my fellow Executive team, Past Governors, Lieutenant Governors and Optimists in general to look among (your) friends and associates and enlist at least ONE member to the District Roster before September 30.

We need to leave our District in the positive to ensure a good start to the New Year. 

Let’s make a difference in our leg of the relay and when we pass that baton successfully we will know as the next runner will shout enthusiastically, “GOT IT!".
