Excerpts From The Optimist Creed – “Promise Yourself” To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind; To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet; To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best; To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own; To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. Dayton Unit NAACP Vision Statement Our “VISION” is to fulfill the dream of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by capitalizing on the second “A” of the NAACP, which stands for “ADVANCEMENT.” Dayton Unit NAACP Goals Our goals are clear. We want to better “INFORM” the community on what the Dayton Unit of the NAACP is doing. We want to proactively “EDUCATE” the community on issues that affect all Americans. By utilizing these methods, it will “EMPOWER” more of us to be Entrepreneurs, Educators, Community Leaders and Corporate Leaders. 1 President’s Initiatives Organized a meeting with the leadership team of Target Corporation and the Trotwood Mayor Joyce Sutton Cameron, Trotwood City Manager Mike Lucking, Ohio State Senator Bill Beagle, Ohio State Representative Roland Winburn and Montgomery County Commissioner Dan Foley, to discuss the proposed closing of the Target store in Trotwood The appointment of the Chairperson of various Standing and Special Committees as outlined in the Constitution of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and Bylaws for Units (Page 32, Duty B and Page 40, Duty C) are as follows: o Communications, Press & Publicity – Patrice Bell (Action / Approved) Recommend that transportation, room expenses, food cost and other misc.
