Celebrating 30 years of service

Charles R. Wiles: we know him as a past president of Optimist International. The Cape Girardeau Noon Optimist Club know him as the founder of their Optimist Club and last week, they all came together to celebrate the club's 30th Anniversary.

Over the years, the Cape Girardeau Noon Optimist Club has raised more than $500,000 for youth programs in their community and recently raised $140,000 specifically for the Melaina's Magical Playground project.

Optimist Clubs are friends of youth. In Cape Girardeau they show their support through soccer leagues, oratorical and essay programs, playground projects and other needs in the community. Thank you Mr. Wiles for helping start such a positive movement so many years ago.
