If I had a magic wand

Chantal M. Lovell, a staff writer for the Redland Daily Facts recently interviewed Jim Brown, President, Optimist Club of Redlands, California.

Her questions took Jim on his journey in Optimism, from "how did you get involved" all the way through "if you had a magic wand, what would you make happen?"

That last one could be a loaded question for any Optimist Club member.  We know of so many needs in our communities.  We see so many children that need a mentor, so many adults that could use more friends, and so many projects that would benefit from more helping hands.

With his magic wand, Jim Brown, "Wants everyone that takes the time to read this to go to our web page and see just what we do as a service club and who we are. To take the opportunity to join our efforts by providing a trophy sponsorship at this year's Optimists Car Show!"

Well, those seem like pretty simple requests.  How about you?  What would you make happen with your magic wand?  Please tell us about it here.
