Summer 2014

We are now on a summer recess and
regular dinner meetings will resume in
September. However we do have a BBQ
planned for August 2 and several Football,
Soccer and Bingo events to keep members
active throughout the summer.

Summer Edition #2 will provide details of
the BBQ.

Highway Clean-up

About 17 optimists helped out at our
Highway Clean-up on Saturday June 7th .
This was one of the larger turnouts and in
total thirteen bags of litter were collected.
We had an excellent lunch afterwards at
Leduc Boston Pizza . Special thank to Opt
John for coordinating this event

Brail Tone Wind-up

The Brail Tone Choir, Semitones (Jr.
Optimist Club Choir) and the
Communications group wind-up took
place on Saturday June 14 at Kiwanis
Place. About 60 attended. Both choirs
performed and the Communications group
gave some presentations. We were also
treated to a violin presentation by Yoko
Wong accompanied by Anna-Marie
Manalo. A light hot dog lunch followed.
This was the debut of the Jr choir and they
did great.
