WHY?
We Optimists were greeted by smiling faces of Past Presidents Diana Drummey and Jack Larison. We had 6 guests and 38 Optimists up and moving at 0700 for a wonderful Halloween Day.
Pat Kelly led us in prayer and Dick Owens started the pledge.
We had dings and brags….fines and 50/50….but our guests were really the best part of the meeting.
