DMM District Dispatch DMM District Dispatch Issue 16.17.12 September 2017 Governor Gorman’s Greetings My year as Governor of the DMM is closing out quickly. I have been extremely proud of all the accomplishments the DMM clubs and members his year. You have reached out and touched more than 76,000 youth across the district. You have introduced three new communities to Optimism by building new clubs in Roseville MN, Lakeville MN and Harrisburg SD and several more are being formed now. You have recruited more than 335 new members and con- tinue to press on to greater achievements. There have been hundreds of club projects and countless hours invested that have impact- ed youth, communities and individual optimist members. In addition individual members have sowed and nourished the roots of Optimism in the many parts of the DMM by just asking a friend, neighbor or a colleague to join a club to Bring Out the Best in Youth, their Communities, and Themselves. 2016-2017 Now is no time to relax or rest as there are many more communities and many more people young and old who can improve their lives and lives of others with Officers more optimism.

    {Read} {PDF EPUB} ~download Beyond Blame How We Can Succeed by Breaking the Dependency Barrier by Armstrong Williams The "talking head": with the "paid-mouthpiece" episode behind him, Armstrong Williams plans a book. That was put on hold when Williams became the focal point of a scandal in January 2005; revelations were made that he and other political commentators were paid by the Bush administration to promote the No Child Left Behind grade-school law. Williams received $240,000. "The book," said Williams in an August telephone interview, "was delayed until after the controversy, which is a good thing . I've grown exponentially. Before, I was a mouthpiece for the Republican Party. This book is more of an evolution of Armstrong Williams." Williams, 45, is a widely circulated Op-Ed columnist and Sunday TV talk show guest. He acknowledged during the storm that it was no surprise that media outlets and news consumers were distressed after learning he promoted a government policy as a paid messenger, and then opined about it without disclosing his financial interest. "I wanted to do it, that is, promote No Child Left Behind," Williams told USA Today, "because it's something I believe in." The Tribune Company canceled his Op-Ed column syndication deal last winter in response to the news. In August, the National Association of Black Journalists announced that Williams was the 2005 "Thumbs Down" award winner for dubious achievement. His book, The New Racists, is scheduled for February 2006 release by Eagle Publishing Co., an imprint of Regnery Publishing, said publicist Patricia Jackson.

  • OVERVIEW the Activities Program Is an Integral Part of Our School
    OVERVIEW The activities program is an integral part of our school. Research indicates that students who are involved in activities have fewer discipline problems, get better grades, have better attendance, and a higher completion rate. The experiences students have in our programs also play a significant role in their perceptions of the school. All students are encouraged to become involved in Linn-Mar High School’s extra-curricular activities program. Our goal is to actively engage student/athletes in activities in order to support our district mission to develop responsible, productive citizens. Over 85% of Linn-Mar students participated in the extra- curricular program during the 2015-16 school year.
