During a regular meeting, amidst the fun raffle drawings, planning for a blood drive and sharing Optimist Club news, Director Greg Connell enlightened the group about how important industry was to the valley. He spoke in secret economic developer terms about "project d" and how it will require big water demands that the community can meet. He also spoke of a lake project, algae plant and new hotel and parking facilities.
There is more to being a social welfare organization than working with children. The only way to be engaged with the needs of the community is to reach out, ask questions and be involved in all aspects of development.
Has your club reached out lately? If not, please do so first thing Monday morning.
