SUMMARY:Chili Dinner
DESCRIPTION:We had a successful Chili Dinner at the MFHS cafeteria on January 28\, 2022. It was a great 2-day event: Thursday we cooked up all the chili and Friday we served it up! \nThis year’s event had some challenges.  We found out we no longer had the steam kettles at the high school to simmer the chili in for that slow cooked flavor.  Food prices have almost doubled\, and due to covid19 we had to have everything individually wrapped.  I think my team did an amazing job tackling each hurdle that came our way.  The take out “picnic” bag of sorts was well received.  Nicki and Tree\, our cafeteria workers did an awesome job keeping things moving along. \nTom Ciscoski\, Greg Matson\, Scott Dwyer and their crew did a great job frying up 120# of hamburger and getting everything into all the buckets.  Kathie Jensen\, Joanne Wanner\, Kathy Matthiessen and Linda Wagner worked tirelessly filling individual containers of cheese and onions \nThanks to Tom Wagner for buying all the food and keeping the line on track the night of the dinner.  A big thanks to Sue Carney and husband Stu Reichl for jumping in and doing whatever was needed to keep everything moving smoothly.  A huge thanks to everyone who volunteered both days.  With everyone helping we were able to raise $3800. \nIt is with a heavy sigh that I am looking for a replacement to chair the chili dinner.  I will be around for whatever support is needed.  I feel it’s time for some new blood to shake things up with some fresh ideas. \n  \nThanks for all your help over the past several years. \n  \n\n			 \n			\n				\n					\n						\n							\n					\n						\n							\n					\n						\n							\n					\n						\n							\n					\n						\n							\n					\n						\n							\n					\n						\n							\n					\n						\n							\n					\n						\n							\n					\n						\n							\n					\n						\n							\n					\n						\n							\n					\n						\n							\n					\n					\n				\n				\n			\n			\n\n  \nChili Dinner Chair: Kirsten Sperl \nChili Dinner Committee: Sue Carney\, Kathy Matthiessen\, Rose Schwartz & Tom Wagner

SUMMARY:Packer Raffle Tailgate Party
DESCRIPTION:Each $100 raffle ticket allows one person to come to the drawing and Tailgate Party. Over $2\,000 in door prizes will be given out to those in attendance that night. Others who have contributed to the purchase of a ticket can attend for $10. Free food\, beer and soda make it a fun event. \nWinners were drawn at the 2022 Raffle Tailgate Party on Monday\, Sept. 12\, 2022 at Village Bowl . Included in this year’s In-House raffle was an autographed LeRoy Butler Packer jersey.  The famed defensive back was voted into the NFL Hall of Fame this year. \n\n			 \n			\n				\n					\n						\n							\n					\n						\n							\n					\n						\n							\n					\n						\n							\n					\n						\n							\n					\n						\n							\n					\n						\n							\n					\n						\n							\n					\n					\n				\n				\n			\n			\n\n  \n  \n\nIt Happened Again for Many at the 2021 Packer Raffle\nWild screams of joy pierced the air at the Village Bowl when Shannon Dederich and her group won the Grand Prize at the 25th Annual Optimist Packer Raffle held on Monday\, September 13\, 2021.  Shannon\, who had won $250 in 2013\, captured a trip to Lambeau Field to see the Green and Gold take on the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday\, Nov. 28\, a package valued at more than $5\,000. \nThere were numerous other repeat winners including newly named “Optimist of the Year”\, Larry Podolske\, whose $250 prize marked the 4th time he and/or his wife hit paydirt in the event.  Linda garnered $250 last year and in 2008.  And Larry won $600 five years ago. \nAnother repeat cash-in was registered by Village Bowl employee Jeff Sonnemann whose $250 award matched what he won in 2012. But those earnings were surpassed by the $500 he tallied in 2011 and the $1\,000 that he copped in 2019. \nFormer Optimist member Dave Meyer of Germantown also hit the trifecta adding a $400 win this year to the $250 in garnered last year and the $500 he picked up in 2008. \nAlso winning cash for the third time was Bruce LaPointe of Milwaukee who matched his $250 prize to that which he was awarded in 2017 and 2018. \nAnother club member getting in on the action again was another raffle captain Herb Gross who added $250 to the group win he was part of in 2011.  Herb’ son Adam of Germantown kept it in the family by taking home second prize of $1\,000. \nOther Optimist members sharing in the wealth were Fred Blanke ($600)\, Terra Chmielewski ($250) and Todd Paulus. \nTodd\, two-time club president\, was involved in probably the most bizarre chain of events which started off last year when he won the free entry to this year’s contest (ticket #350).  But not being content with just one entry (and probably wanting to support the club as a whole) he proceeded to buy ticket #163 which won him one of this year’s $250 cash prizes.  Then his ticket #350 was drawn to again give him a free entry into the 2022 contest!!! \nOther $250 winners this year included Carol Muenich and Keith Songstad both of Menomonee Falls\, Renee Hitt of Waukesha\, Carrie Bence of Hubertus and longtime Friend of Optimism Don Matovich\, owner of DJ”s Goalpost in the Falls. \nChad and Laure Demmon in Elm Grove bought a ticket from their neighbor JJ Selland\, former club president.  They also qualified for a $250 award\, but generously decided to give it back to the club for our continued efforts as “Friends of Youth.” \nBecause Shannon and her gang are not going to Green Bay till November 28 (Shannon’s birthday by the way)\, final figures for the raffle are not complete currently.  But while hopefully exceeding $20\,000 in profit\, this year’s event will not match last year’s earnings of $22\,900 nor will it come close to the record setting mark of $23\,869.23 reached in 2019.  Never-the-less\, once all the data is complete\, the club will be pushing the $300\,000.00 level in total take for the past 14 years of the raffle. \n  \nphotos by Jon Cline \n\n			 \n			\n				\n					\n						\n							\n					\n						\n							\n					\n						\n							\n					\n						\n							\n					\n						\n							\n					\n						\n							\n					\n						\n							\n					\n						\n							\n					\n						\n							\n					\n						\n							\n					\n						\n							\n					\n					\n				\n				\n			\n			\n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Softball Tournament
DESCRIPTION:Well\, the 4th annual Optimist Club/Sal’s Pub and Grill Softball Tournament is in the books. Cory Kleeba\, Larry Hebbring\, and myself would like to thank all who were a part of this adventure. I’d like to recognize a few groups that helped make our 3 day event successful. First of all\, to all of our Optimist friends that gave of their time this weekend to work the concessions. Second\, to Sal’s Pub Softball team…. Not a nicer and harder working group of guys around. They kept the games going and the field in shape. Next\, Greg Mattson and 1st Bank Financial who sponsored our grilled chicken dinners on Sunday\, Awesome!! Jeff Steliga and Falls Fest for donating the ice to keep our cold ones chilled. A shout out to Aaron Kleeba and the Village of Menomonee Falls for getting the softball field back in shape on Sunday after the rains. Most of all\, I’d like to thank all who stopped by\, had fun\, and in turn\, made this event stand out as we work to BRING OUT THE BEST IN KIDS. We’ll be back!! See you next year.\n\nSoftball Tournament Chair: Cory Kleeba \nSoftball Tournament Co-chairs: Larry & Marcia Hebbring \nPictures from 2016 tournament courtesy of Don Gorzek. \nMany Optimist Club members volunteered to work at the concession stand during the annual softball tournament held at the Village Park on June 24\, 25\, and 26\, 2016.\n \nMarcia Hebbring rings the “Tip Bell” after a generous softball player and spectator put change in the tip jar.\nCory Kleeba oversaw the softball competition\, while Larry Hebbring was in charge of the food and liquid refreshments.\n \n  \n
