What a wonderful afternoon! We were thrilled to have several Charter Members attend our 40th Anniversary Open House, including our Charter President Len Belton! In attendance as well was our SWONT District Governor John Ruth and his wife Carol. Many members both past and present were justifiably proud to celebrate our club’s past achievements and community members dropped in to let us know they appreciate what we do. What a feeling! Congratulations to committee members who worked hard to make this a really special event! Click on the image to see more.

We are so thrilled to have three baskets set up for our disc golf pilot project! This is a necessary step in order to show the municipality that a full, permanent course is a great idea. We've had lots of positive and excited comments on our social media so we hope that the community embraces this new sport. The baskets are located at the Port Franks Community Centre.

Our core team was out all day yesterday working security at the dragway in Grand Bend. We do this every year. The donation we receive for doing so goes to offset membership fees for our club members. This is the second year we’ve also had a presence selling 5050 tickets for our raffle, which we really appreciate A LOT! We topped $6K in our pot today and the final draw is still a month away - www.OurOptimist5050.ca for tickets.
