We still have calendars left! For $20 get this beautiful 2026 calendar featuring photos of local natural areas, and every month lists events happening with our club, Lambton Shores Nature Trails, Port Franks Seniors, and the Port Franks Garden Club. The back of the calendar also includes a thumbnail calendar for 2027. This would make a lovely gift! Contact [email protected] to secure your calendars and THANK YOU for supporting our club!

It’s here! We took delivery of the mural this morning - next step installation! The badminton club members were just as excited to see it as us! Click on the image to learn more about this project from conception to realization.  We have a winner! Congratulations to Sheila Smart of Belmont ON who has won $6015! Thank you to everyone who supported our club by buying tickets. We were amazed to see how the pot climbed as the end of the raffle approached! We will continue to work hard to fulfill our mandate to our community. Thank you! Here’s a copy of a note we received in the mail the other day (yes we did get mail!) from the last early bird prize winners (Darlene & Garry Gilroy) with a cheque for $200.00. We hope they don't mind us sharing their generous gesture, as we know they didn't do this for the recognition. It is greatly appreciated and this short note speaks volumes to us. Good luck on the final draw! www.OurOptimist5050.ca  Happy New Year! You read that correctly! The Optimist year starts on October 1st. With it comes new changes as those elected to positions in executives take over their responsibilities. For our club, President Lou-Anne MacDonald enters the second year of her two year term. We do have some changes on our board. You can visit our website's 'About Us' page for details. Our club is part of the Southwestern Ontario District (SWONT) and our new Governor Ritchie Stewart, as those before him have done, has his own theme to guide us through the year - "Be the Change". Optimists strive for the best in our youth, our community and ourselves! We'd love to have you join us! Visit our 'Contact Us' page to get started!  Congratulations to our Early Bird Draw winners Garry & Darlene Gilroy of Melbourne Ontario! We're heading towards the final draw in October, winner will take 50% of the total pot. Visit www.OurOptimist5050.ca to buy tickets online.

All of the tiles are painted and have been organized and laid out to create the design! Next up - photos! See many more pictures of the project from the start by clicking on the image below.
