Sun, beach, optimism: What more could you ask for?

The Optimist Club of Carlsbad, California, affectionately dubbed "The Achievers", set up an informational exhibit last weekend to raise community awareness for Optimist Club youth programs. Members of all ages were on hand to talk about their involvement with the Special Olympics, Eric Sears 5K Run, scholarships, oratorical and essay contests, and Eagle Scout projects.

What I like most about the project is the picture.  It reminds us that Optimist Clubs are ageless; you are welcome to join and participate, no matter how old or young you are. The Carlsbad Optimist Club welcomes new members at 8:00 a.m. every Saturday at the El Camino Country Club, 3202 Vista Way, Oceanside; information: 760-458-5222.
