Keeping children out of trouble

The Optimist Club of Mission, British Columbia will host the Annual Youth Talent Show on March 20, 2010.  Always popular in the community, the talent show lets children shine and the $5 ticket fee raises money for the other youth serving projects that the club performs throughout the year.

The Mission Optimist Club sponsors free ice skating and swimming and coordinates a full color magazine written and designed by students. 

The talent show allows the participants the opportunity to experience a real stage and a live audience.  Rhett Nicholson, youth programs coordinator remarked, “In Mission there isn’t a lot to do as a teenager, so we provide opportunities to keep kids out of trouble.”

That is what being part of an Optimist Club is all about.  Inspiring children; recognizing children, and helping them to be the best they can be.
