Co-President Dyan Graybeal gaveled the meeting to order at 12:07 PM. Rocky Jackson led us in the Pledge of Allegiance, and Stub Clarkson said the Invocation.
SUNSHINE DOLLARS: Dyan Graybeal commented that 39 people showed up to help with the MSTI "Kids With Cancer" picnic. Stub Clarkson about his grandson Will having a new boat. Dyan said we are still collecting old cell phones. Our club received a thank you note from the Lee Santo family. Thee was a thought to start a scholarship fund for youth referees under George Santo's name. Jerron Moore commented on the 7 on 7 competition.
We didn't have a scheduled speaker this day, but as it turned out, Jerron Moore gave a very good presentation about last Friday and Saturday's 7 on 7 high school football competition at the Optimist Youth Complex. Just talking about how points are scored is impressive.

| The pot was $219 this day. Dyan tried to pull an ACE to win, but wound up with a king and $10. |
Jerron expects this 7 on 7 program to just about double next year.
Eagle High won the varsity group with talented quarterback Tanor Magnuson leading the way. Centennial won in the junior varsity group.
Youth football may be in jeopardy in the years to come due to financial concerns, Optimist Youth Football just may be the only option available to them.
For this tournament, the concession stand sold only sandwiches, water, Gator Aid, doughnuts and coffee. It went very well and there was very little waiting in line for the people.
