Merry Christmas from the Boise Noon Optimist Club

Larry Highley and Granddaughters 

We will have a nighttime meeting next Tuesday Dec 28 at the Casa Mexico at 10332 Fairview at 6:30 P.M.

Barry Fitzgerald led us in the Pledge, and Sue Oliver said in the Invocation.

Sunshine $$:  Dyan for the Christmas Party; 45 folks were helped; Cookie decorating was very well done and everyone seemed to have a good time. 

The Misty Party was it's usual Success.   "H" BOWL, saved $12.00 per person.  Cookie Decorations were fun for everyone.  Connie Condie  did her usual Bang-up Job with the Military Families.  KUDO's to all who helped/worked on this.

Ken and Cindi Wall

BEAR CARE!!!  We are re-thinking this issue this year;  How can we AMP IT UP??? 

We need Program Sellers on the 29th at 6:00 p.m.  We will do our best to get information on the web site for those of you who are interested in helping.

Our speaker this day was our own Dan McQuesten.  An intelligent man who really knows about the economy etc.  "In 2011 there will be an 11% to 18% raise in the stock market.  There will be gridlock in congress, but stocks don't reflect what is happening in politics.  California and Florida will be in default.  Bonds will go down.  House will remain in trouble.  Commodity stocks will do well."

Dan McQuesten

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Re: Future Meetings: Dyan and/or Sue will sometimes miss a meeting because they are both full time

working Women. We will work around these issues.

1st Tuesday Birthday(Our waitress Dixie has a Birthday today too), and Walt's birthday is Wednesday, and Richard Buchanan's in on the21st.

We discussed various ideas, issues: Maybe we could start a"Phone Tree", have a banquet at No. Idaho Youth Ranch; There are four to5th Tuesdays; What about 'Old Hombre?, Transition it to kids? Mitten Drive-in October: More info to come: Tuesday Board Meetings will stay the same.

Bret Gallagher mentioned that perhaps some time in near future he could work it out that some of us could go to Gowen Field to check out what he does there and perhaps get 'RIDES"???

THE POT TODAY IS:$143.00; Scott Muir pulled an ACE; good for you Scott.
