Take a look at the Adrian Journal online where more than 10 pages of Optimist Club activities have been recorded since 2007. There are entries about the student of the month program, Christmas activities, the sixth grade dictionary program, bicycle rodeos, independence day parades, essay and oratorical contests and all other Optimist International programs. There are entries about meetings and installations. You will also find that the Adrian Optimists contstructed and manage a 14,000 square foot building that is used as a community center and banquet hall and have helped to finance and build other community infrastructure projects like the heliport.
Yes, the Adrian Optimist Club is vital, relevant and successful in their community. But personally, I want to compliment them on the kid connection. Making a difference in the lives of children is why we do what we do as Optimist Club members and the Adrian Optimists do it well.
