Phather Phil’s Prayer
Heavenly Father, some of us are like tea bags , we have to be put in hot water to see how strong we are. So thank You for friends and companions who offer a hand when we are in need. Comfort when we are sad and words of encouragement when we mess up. As Optimist we are blessed with such friends. Since we have no gold to give and love must make amends. Please ,Lord makes us worthy of our friends. Amen!

Today’s Speaker
Vice President Greg Griffin talked to CNO about the upcoming tree lot. He showed a Christmas Tree lot video, and spoke about how our tree lot has become a family tradition for many of our customers. This Saturday, November 18th, 8AM, ALL HANDS ON DECK, we will unload nearly 1,000 trees. Last year we sold out in 16 days, this year it is believed we will sell out even more quickly. EVERYONE is assigned to work the tree lot, so show up for as many shifts as possible. We are looking forward to another great season. MERRY CHRISTMAS.
