Junior Optimist Club recognized in Honolulu


Ninety-three people attended the Junior Optimist Club of Honolulu's awards and recognition dinner on Wednesday, May 19, 2010.

According to the Optimist Club of Honolulu, Hawaii, they have sponsored this remarkable group of young people for eleven years.  Recognizing their service to their club, school and community, this year six young ladies from the Kaimuki Middles School were in the running for Optimist of the Year.  Darsha VanAntwerp was declared the top optimist.

The club has a motto that we all hope is true, "Once an Optimist, always an optimist."  Congratulations ladies.  Thank you for all that you do.
