Optimism is High in Stone Oak

Today I attended my first Stone Oak Optimist Club meeting after learning about the group from club President, Gina Groomer. Meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month at North Central Baptist Hospital in the education room located in the Atrium. This was my first involvement with the club and in addition to learning about face value characteristics from this month's speaker Joanna Antongiovanni I learned what the Optimist Creed is; to promote an active interest in good government and civic affairs; to inspire respect for law; to promote patriotism and work for international accord and friendship among all people; to aid and encourage the development of youth in the belief that the giving of one's self in service to others will advance the well-being of humankind, community life and the world. The next meeting takes place on April 1st, 2009 at 08.45am.
