CEO Report:
Jennifer Pyle announced: Jim Hayes.
Jim has been a member since March 1990. He is married to his wife Susan. They have four cats. His occupation is A Process Controls CADD Designer @ Shambaugh & Son LP. His hobbies include electronics, computers, sailing and woodworking. His activities of interest are sex, drugs and Rock & Roll. Something that nobody knows about Jim is one of his first jobs in Muncie, IN was delivering pizzas. He would deliver them to Phil Haines at Ball Memorial Hospital and sneak in the back door. Phil had a wonderful sense of humor and always had a joke to tell. Phil told Jim about his brother Dr. Haines who turned me into an Optimist, but it was Phil who taught me to be an Optimist! Jim’s key to success is being a good servant of the Lord. His Optimist memory is back in the late 80’s the club lost several members and so the club had a membership drive and the club was meeting at the Holiday Inn at this time. The club grew and the enthusiasm from the members was exciting to be part of the growth. That year, the club not only added enough members to replace the ones lost, but went on to be a Distinguished Honor Club that year. Jim’s honors include: Optimist of the Year, Life Member, Student of the Week, Triathlon, Directory, Media Tech, Perfect Attendance 1990-1999 & 2000-2014. Thank you for sharing Jim, we appreciate you as a Club Essential Optimist and ALL that you do for the club!
