Optimist Clubs plan to recognize children

Optimist Clubs are preparing to recognize children in their communities as part of the Annual Youth Appreciation Week scheduled for the second week in November. With busy schedules all around some clubs will celebrate early and others may wait and celebrate months later, but according to an Optimist International spokesperson, the important thing is that the kids are recognized.

Some children are recognized for grades or athleticism, but the programs that touch the most children and adults are those that recognize kids for doing the right things. One of those programs was recently held in Southern California by the Pamona Breakfast Optimist Club where Cammar Lewis was honored for turning over $100 that he found to school officials. The school was able to locate the rightful owner, a senior citizen.

Good kids, good deeds, good program.
