This makes me smile

I thought it was a great story with a catchy headline when I first wrote about the Port City Optimist Club.  I smiled at the headline "Optimist Club going better than hoped" and I agreed with author Si Cantwell that 44 new members in 4 months was a great accomplishment.

Now Jay Leno has gotten in on the action.  He too thinks that headline was worthy of attention on the Headlines Segment of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. About 1:45 into the segment, after reading the headline, you'll hear Jay ask, "Really, did you think it was gonna suck? What is that?" 

I think the nod was in good taste and love that Mr. Cantwell is so positive about gaining national attention to his column Behind the Headlines in StarNews Media.

Want to know even more?  Lori Harris, the newly elected president and organizer of the Port City Optimist Club was recruited and hired by StarNews Media to coordinate their online and print marketing efforts.

Yes, this series of events make me smile.
