Celebration, fundraiser or both?


The Abbotsford Optimist Club of British Columbia celebrated their 25th Anniversary earlier this month.  I asked them to send me a picture for the PNW District Optimist blog.  Perhaps I thought I would get a picture of awards being given or speeches being made.  What a pleasant surprise to see happy faces and people enjoying being a part of the the fun.  Since it was March, they chose a St. Patrick's Day theme and they shared their special day with the Childhood Cancer Foundation of Canada, raising $3,000 for them through the silent auction.
