Message from Governor …
Fellow Optimists of Indiana South District, I’m looking forward to our 2nd Quarter District Meetings. The Conference will
be conducted in two locations on two different dates. The first Super Regional conference will be conducted in Plainfield,
Indiana on January 18, 2025 and the second Super Regional conference will be conducted at Georgetown, Indiana on January
25, 2025. There are several reasons to have super regional conferences at both northern and southern locations of the district.
The first is because occasionally there is icy weather in January. Two locations at both ends of the district make it easier for
our members to attend. The second reason is that with closer conferences, more of our members will attend.
I strongly encourage every Lt. Governor, club president and secretary/treasurer to attend one or both meetings. It is also
beneficial for any of our optimist members to attend as well. Our District Leadership Development Committee of Mike
Novak, Bill Cherolis, and Andy Tice are preparing important training to be presented at the conferences. Another important
benefit from attending the District Conference is we get to meet other optimists from clubs all over the district and we are
able to learn new ideas about how these clubs support their communities.
Walt Willms
Indiana South Optimist Indiana Governor
