Optimist Club joins with Rotary for food drive

Another community; another day of caring organized again by the United Way.  This time the United Way challenged the Van Wert, Ohio communiity to collect 25,000 canned goods.  Thanks to the donations from the Van Wert Rotary and Optimist Clubs, they met their goal.  The service clubs contributed 12,278 non-perishable food items.  The balance came from the business community with the total reaching 25,807.

This is yet another example of how sharing service can be fun.  Get your community involved in a Day of Caring or maybe a Day of Optimism.  Call it what you want, just make sure everyone is invited to participate.
