SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT JAN PALMER
Fellow Optimists: With the COVID rates going up in Boone County and around the state we have decided to postpone Optimist's breakfast for the next few weeks ... We look forward to a fun family night of games to happen at a later date. The Board will make a decision about Pancake Day which is currently scheduled for Feb. 5th, at the next Board meeting on Jan. 13th, but if rates are still high that will also be postponed.
Jan Palmer, President

Red Kettle Report
from Bern Bonderer
Jan 3 2022
Happy New Year to All!
On behalf of the Salvation Army, I would like to thank the Ashland Community for the generous contributions for 2021. The total for the year was $3,473.08!
As most of you know, when I started the campaign 12 years ago, the funds were raised entirely by Optimist Club members. Several years ago I started reaching out to other groups, organizations, churches, families, sports teams, or whomever would volunteer to ring. And the results have more than doubled. So a special thank you to all of those that rang AND to those that spread the word around to get other ringers!
Stay Warm and Safe!!
Bern
