We begin our 52nd year as a club with Optimist Tina Clare as our new president for 2024/25. She will bring her creativity and enthusiasm for the community and the Optimist commitment to enrich the lives of youth in our area. She has been with the club for the nearly 10 years as our social media, website, graphics designer and one of the many creative folks in the Shed, where we work hard designing and building an array of displays for Christmas in The Park.
