Spurred on by the extra attention that the new Optimist Club gained from
Jay Leno, I've been watching the progress of the Port City Optimist Club in Wilmington, North Carolina from a distance. After all, it is rather far away from Idaho so most of my knowledge comes from what I find in the media.
Today I was excited to see them mentioned again. I was even more impressed with why. The Port City Optimist Club has established a new fund at the Betty H.Cameron Women's and Children's Hospital at New Hanover Regional Medical Center to support children who have pharmaceutical needs that are beyond their means. The
Pediatric Pharmacy Fund will assist when insurance, Medicaid, and the family's own resources are overextended.
According to president Lori Harris, they hope to inspire other Optimist Clubs to contribute and help serve all children in the area.
A new, resourceful and inspirational project from a new Optimist Club. This is real proof that new Optimist Clubs bring fresh ideas and resources to the table. Thank you!
