Governor Sue, Welcomes you!
Ever wonder why you are an Optimist? Do you ever wonder why you stay an Optimist? These are the questions that have popped into my head the last few years. I do wonder why I stay. Is it for the glory? Or is it for the friendships I have made being a member? Is it because I like to do things or be in charge of thing (projects)? Or is it because I have a soft spot in my heart for children in need. I don’t really know why, but I know it is some of all of that.
It was a humbling experience for me as Club President. I learned to listen better. I learned not to be so quick with a comment or look. I learned not to judge people. I learned what it was like to see little kids needing so…so much that I know there was no way I could help them all.
Through Optimist International, I learned what it was like to belong to a wonderful organization that actually helps little kids all over the world in one way or another. I knew I wanted to be a part of that!
So, that’s why I stay. It’s why I want to see our district be healthy and vibrant, and I want to find that spark and ignite the passion in all of us to stay and do good things for the little kids. I have faith in you! I know you will find that spark in your club members; you will kindle it; and fan the flames. Light the fire…lead them boldly and you will see the changes!
I promise to give you the tools to help make you successful and who knows? You might just light someone else’s fire!
Have a great year I will be seeing you and your club soon!
Governor Sue Wunsch
