We look forward to lots of learning with topics asked for by you, with fun and camaraderie. This is the time we set aside each quarter to help clubs and members, like you, to learn things you didn’t know about Optimism, International programs, and our District.

Immediate Past International President, Bob McFayden and First Lady, Penny, will be with us to talk about one of the hottest programs going, O.W.L.S. You don’t want to miss this. Also visiting us in an official capacity of Vice President of the Northeast and Great Lakes Region, our own Tom Kendo and his First Lady and Past Ohio District Governor, Jennifer.

Let’s have at least 2 people from each club attend. For those who have never attended, now is your chance. When people say there is nothing there for me, they just don’t know. As the saying goes, you don’t know what you don’t know. Change the paradigm and learn something new.

We’d love to have you join us on February 9 – 10 (or for the day February 10th) – especially if you are a first-timer or if you have not been to a District Conference in a while.

Hello Optimist Friends and Partners,

I am inviting all of you to join me in my adventure!!!!!

As we start Optimist year 2024-2025, I am looking forward to working with all of you. My style of leadership is to lead with you, to be in partnership with all of you. I am excited to expand our Ohio district so we can reach out to even more children. My theme this year is “Creating Optimism in Kids.” I want to capture the inspiration we all have for bringing out the best in kids, our communities and ourselves, to provide the training needed to feel confident that we can be successful, provide a plan to follow for success and provide a sustainable fiscal future of Optimism in Ohio.

Being the governor for the Ohio District Optimist was never a goal of mine HOWEVER when the invitation to be governor, I felt that I might be able to make a difference. I know that we need to continue to reach out to the children in our hometowns and bring optimism to as many as possible. I have served as president of two clubs and been Lt. Governor two times. I am retired and have children and grandchildren living all over the country. I feel I have done my part to forward the call of Optimism. HOWEVER…. the need is still here. Therefore, I need all of you. Just like me, you have served before, please reach deep down and say….” I will help again!!!” Help me influence others in your club, your community and share the value of optimism with everyone. Together we can really make a difference. I KNOW we can …. The time is NOW. I just need you to partner with me.

My goals this year are simple:

1. To stop our clubs from disbanding and Optimist members from leaving. We need to make our existing and new members feel welcome and valued. We then need to grow our clubs and show the new members how valuable they are to our clubs and our community.

2. To educate and train our members so they have the tools they need to lead. First we will provide leadership training so optimist members at all levels will feel they have the tools and confidence they need to lead their clubs.

3. We will provide a road map, a marketing plan, that will spell out a process for us to reach out to our communities to be successful.

4. And lastly, we will balance our budget and be fiscally responsible. As membership grows, we can again expand our programs and expenditures. But for today and for the months ahead we must plan for the future.

I am asking you all to make a real effort to attend the conferences and convention in 2024-2025. If you can’t attend the entire weekend, please consider attending at least the Saturday sessions. The 2024-2025 leadership team is putting together meetings that are worthwhile and beneficial. Please take time to read the attached summary of the first leadership training. There is homework for you (Very easy, don’t get scared).

I am excited to be getting to know all of you and to be able to work with you closely. Please share with me all the exciting things your club is doing. Kids you are making a difference for. In summary, we need to grow optimism in Ohio and everywhere. Our children and ourselves depend on it. I need you to be my partner!

Yours in Optimism,

Governor Terry Schalnat

Spring is busting out all over and that is exactly what we are doing in the Ohio District. Please mark your calendars for the 3rd conference this year on May 3, 2025. In my opinion, it is the most interesting and fun conference of the year. Optimists are all about service to children…well at this conference we will be hosting the best in the Oratorical contest and the final Essay and CCDHH contest winners. You will be able to hear these fantastic students tell us about how Optimism helped them through challenging times in their lives. Please come to honor these students. Let’s fill the room with support and encouragement!!

It is truly a day well spent in service. You will learn about a successful fundraiser and the incredibly talented Mike Bevis, a fellow Optimist, will discuss both member recruitment and retention as well as new club building. It is springtime after all, a time for growth, a perfect time to hear how all clubs can grow. Growth means having more people to serve more children. That is what we are all about. Serving Children. “Let’s Grow” our clubs!

At the same time, we will be provided with unbelievably valuable life-supportive leadership training from Mike Zywien. This series is the third in the series. The series has been well accepted. Learn not only how to lead your club but how to grow personally and professionally. Mike is aware that you are ALL the leaders in your clubs, but the series is provided so you can take it back to your clubs. The future of the Optimist Organization is about the future leaders and this series on leadership supports and trains those leaders.

We are doing something a little different this conference. The conference will end at 4:30 Saturday afternoon. There will not be dinner. I hope you can spend the day with us. I promise you it will be well worth it.

Yours in Optimism,

Terry Schalnat – Governor

It is with great excitement and gratitude that I welcome each of you to the 2025-2026 Optimist Year. As we step into this new season together, I am honored to serve as your Governor and to continue the incredible work of spreading Optimism throughout our communities.

Our theme this month is “Celebrating Change.” Change brings growth, new opportunities, and fresh perspectives. It reminds us that with every new challenge comes the chance to learn, to adapt, and to strengthen our mission of bringing out the best in youth, our communities, and ourselves.

I invite every club and every member across the Ohio District to embrace this spirit of change, whether through new projects, fresh ideas, or renewed energy in the work you are already doing. Together, we will celebrate not only the traditions that make our organization strong, but also the possibilities that lie ahead when we open ourselves to growth and transformation.

I’m also thrilled to announce that our 1st Quarter District Conference for 2025-2026 is scheduled for November 14-16. This will be a wonderful opportunity to connect, learn and share as we chart our course forward. I hope every club will join us, your presence makes a difference!

Thank you for all that you do, and for the countless ways you embody Optimist in action. Let’s make 2025-2026 a year of inspiration, impact, and meaningful change worth celebrating!

Get ready Ohio Optimists!

I’m thrilled to officially invite you to the Second Quarter Ohio District Conference, February 6–8, 2026, at the Embassy Suites Conference Center, 5100 Upper Metro Place, Dublin, Ohio 43017. Mark your calendars and plan to join us for a weekend filled with fun, fellowship, and Optimist pride!

We’ll kick off the weekend on Friday, February 6, 2026, in the Hospitality Room, featuring a 2026 Winter Olympics theme as the Opening Ceremonies take place that evening. Join us for snacks, beverages, fun, and fellowship. This is a BYOB event — feel free to bring food to share. We’ll provide ice, coolers, basic mixers, and light snacks both evenings, with pizza or subs on Friday (donations appreciated to help cover costs). Be sure to join in a fun 10-question Winter Olympics trivia for a little friendly competition and extra laughs!

Optimist International Foundation Executive Director Craig Boring will be joining us all day to give further insight into the OI Foundation and has special awards to present during Past Governor, Terry Schalnat’s, award ceremony Saturday evening. We’ll recognize District participation in International Optimist Day, which is celebrated worldwide on the first Thursday of each February. We will also highlight the C.A.R.E. Program (C-Celebrate, A-Address, R-Recognize, E-Excel), which focuses on membership — the key to our organization and the communities we serve.

We’re also excited to welcome a special guest speaker, Dennis VanFossen Jr., Chief Executive Officer of the International Soap Box Derby. A former Soap Box Derby world champion and lifelong Optimist at heart, Dennis brings incredible energy, leadership, and passion to his story — from racing at Derby Downs to leading this iconic organization into its next chapter. His presentation promises inspiration, excitement, and plenty of fun.

We’ll continue our focus on strengthening our clubs through membership growth and retention. If every Ohio Optimist Club added just one new member, our District would truly soar — and this conference will help spark that momentum.

And of course, we’ll add a little fun! 🎉 The Governor’s Raffle will be drawn on Saturday, February 7, at Past Governor, Terry Schalnat’s, award ceremony and every registered attendee is automatically entered for a chance to win a basket of 250 lottery tickets. Just attend and you could be our lucky winner!

Save the date, bring a fellow Optimist (or a future one!), and get ready for an energizing weekend. I can’t wait to see you there!
