We've got a great crew of face painters as well as an impressive inventory of large games! This past weekend we were at two 'Pitch Hit & Run' events hosted by the North Middlesex Minor Baseball Association in Parkhill.

Huge thanks to Dan at Total Moving for donating his time and equipment, and to his very strong helper, for picking up and delivering a refrigerator (donated by a generous anonymous GB resident to our club to replace our old unreliable one). Although our members are always willing to pitch in, getting those appliances up and down our steep staircase and loading/unloading really required professionals! Thanks for supporting our club Dan!  In our community nobody fights alone - we will always have each other's back! This community came out in a HUGE way to support one of our own. We are proud to have had our own members conceive the hugely successful fundraiser for Raquel Murray. It all started after an Optimist meeting with 3 people bantering ideas (Linda’s what if/could we/where do we begin) and of course Betty immediately imagining the logistics of feeding hundreds of people - which she did! The emails started, a committee formed, volunteers, Raquel's family and friends, and so many businesses, individuals and organizations jumped on board. Our club's members helped out to support the efforts in any way we could. Thank you to everyone who contributed in any way, big or small, to support Raquel.  Great turn out for our May dinner meeting! We were honoured to have Leon Van Haaren of CVH Quality Construction Ltd. and his wife Lynn as guests. Leon saved the day when we needed help with our mural project - thanks so much! After a delicious meal prepared by Betty and Petar, we held elections for our executive. Thanks to those Optimists who have stepped up to serve! The new board will take effect Oct 1st. Happy milestone birthday to President Lou-Anne MacDonald!

Delicious wings by Betty and Petar, our resident chefs, and Grog’s pizza. We were pleased to have guests attend. Are you interested in checking us out? We’d welcome you! So much fun at this afternoon’s meat draw at Grog's Pub and Grill! We are very grateful to the management and staff, and of course the large crowd of happy supporters! Bonus - Canada wins GOLD in curling! What a fun evening spent creating art and socializing! Thank you to Dawn Greco who facilitated this paint night event, waiving any payment so that 100% of the proceeds will go towards our upcoming Free to Create Kids art show. All of the participants enjoyed themselves so much and went home with a masterpiece!  February's monthly member dinner meeting was well attended and we greatly enjoyed the delicious meal prepared by Betty and Petar! We were having such a lovely time we got a late start on the actual meeting, but still managed to get updated on the many excellent events and initiatives we have coming up in the coming months.  |
