	Hub City Optimist Club
Bringing Out the Best in Kids

Got news, ideas (pro and con), an “atta boy” or maybe a thought or a recipe to share.

Love to hear from you. This will be published by each Wednesday for the month of June.

Gayle with Camp Circle O” Friends told us about the camp moving and thanked us for the past and present assistance to include the room in the medical building we paid for. She let us know we were the 1st to step up and help.

Sheila with Sutherland School let us know their goal has been reached for the new playground and construction will start soon. She thanked us very much for being the 1st to step up and help them achieve their goal.

Dalene and Penny with Optimist Twirlers thanked us for all of our help and support. They let us know we were the 1st to help them AND reminded us we are 20 years old. WOW! Thank you!

Combine all dry ingredients, and add to the raisins and carrot. Add water, bring to a boil and simmer about 5 minutes. Then add apple. Bake this mixture between two crusts for 25 minutes at 375F.

President Ralph’s Holiday message: Another year is just about done. Our club has stayed constant this year. Financially we were successful and we are getting all paperwork in order, doing a full audit while we’re heading into the New Year with some events planned and others to come. I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, or whatever holiday you celebrate. In closing, please remember that those who do for others without looking for recognition are blessed for what they have done.

As the sun sets on beautiful Saskatoon, may we wish the milk truck and its new owner our best.

It used to be a Purolator delivery truck and is now being painted and designed internally for our use.

Brent and Jasmine will have a picture presentation of the new Midtown Plaza decorations going up.

SANTA CLAUS PARADE Nov. 20th at 10:00am We have a tent for the volunteers with Timmies hot chocolate and coffee. People are needed to work the tent. Call Phil H. to come out.

Ticket sales require 4 people. We have 36 home games in total, plus special events. Volunteers to fill these positions are desperately needed. Please find a date or two that work for you and contact Jim D. or Brent C. to come out.

Mix dry ingredients together. Add applesauce and mix well. Roll on waxed paper to 1/2" thickness and sprinkle with cinnamon to keep from sticking. Cut into Christmas shapes. Let decorations air dry for 4 or 5 days, turning once a day. Ornaments can be painted or decorated when dry. Store in a plastic bag each year. When the scent evaporates, add a drop or 2 of cinnamon oil to the back. These ornaments are wonderful tree decorations or gifts.

We helped with the Sutherland School BBQs helping them raise money for a new playground. Things are coming along very nicely.

Ride For Dad was the newest fund raiser. A little rainy but all in all a good one.

Canada Day is the biggest fund raiser and it didn’t let us down with many thanks to Mother Nature.

Cruise Day was a lot of fun. We had great weather and did well as a fund raiser.

As the sun sets on beautiful Saskatoon we lay to rest the Milk Wagon and the Food Cart. At least for this year.

Many thanks to EVERYONE that made all events successful. We couldn’t have done it without you!

Special thanks to ALL the volunteers at Sutherland School, Optimist Twirlers Connection and Jasmine and friends.

Later in this year: Santa Clause Parade (November). We will need volunteers for the hot chocolate tent and parade marshals. Contact Phil H. to help.

Cooking Goodies Grilled Cheese Sandwich: Spread Deli or Dijon Mustard inside before grilling. FANTASTIC! Dip in Ranch Dressing (of course)

Chocolate Chip Cookies: Use different colors and kinds of chocolate chips. Believe it or not, they taste way better.

Rule Of Thumb: At our house, HE does all the BBQing and I cook in the oven. THANK YOU to Mother Nature for very little rain. It’s been a fantastic summer.

SPECIAL EDITION-CANADA DAY

Canada is shaped by its colorful history, its beautiful landscapes, and its diverse culture.

It is home to many great people – people who make differences.

Canada's history, pride, beauty, and multiculturalism is what makes it unique – it is what makes it "Canada"

When I'm in Canada, I feel this is what the world should be like.
Jane Fonda

Until I came to Canada I never knew 'snow' was a four letter word.
Alberto Manguel

It is wonderful to feel the grandness of Canada in the raw.
Emily Carr

As far as I'm concerned, I wouldn't want to go to any other country. It's good enough here.
Orviel Kruse

There are no limits to the majestic future which lies before the mighty expanse of Canada with its virile, aspiring, cultured, and generous-hearted people.
Winston Churchill

Maple Syrup Pudding

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon 3 tablespoons sugar
salt
3/4 cup maple syrup
2/3 cup milk

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
In a medium bowl, beat together sugar, butter, egg, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until soft and creamy, at least 10 minutes.
Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; stir into the butter mixture a little at a time, alternating with the maple syrup and milk. Just mix enough to moisten. Pour into the prepared pan.
Bake in a preheated oven for 45 minutes. The maple syrup will sink to the bottom, and the top should be lightly browned. Serve warm.

Don’t walk and text at the same time. That pole is closer then you think.

Ham Roll-Ups

Package sliced ham luncheon meat
Creamed Cheese
Pickled Asparagus or a pickle cut in 4 lengthwise
Toothpicks

Pat dry 1 slice of ham luncheon meat and lay flat. Spread on some creamed cheese top to bottom. Place asparagus (or pickle) on creamed cheese. Roll. Poke 1 toothpick in the middle catching the edge (so it doesn’t unroll). Poke 1 toothpick ¼ inch in at each end. Last, poke a toothpick on each side of the middle one. You now have 5 rolls. To cut, use a sharp knife and slide with pressure (don’t saw or they’ll rip).
Variation: add fancy mustard (just a bit).
When I make these, it starts at 50 for 5 people. VERY GOOD!!!

I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.
