Teachers are encouraged to #JoinanOptimistClub
Teachers are encouraged to #JoinanOptimistClub For nine months each year, and sometimes more, teachers inspire children to learn and achieve. To me, it sounds like they are ready-made Optimists. For the second year, Optimist International agrees, and it has extended its popular Recruit-a-teacher membership incentive for the third quarter of the 2016-2017 administrative year.

Gifts on Father’s Day
Gifts on Father’s Day by: Mary A. Aversano, , Source Unknown On December 5, 1998, my son, Jeffrey was in a serious auto accident. He was left a quadrapalegic. From the moment he left ICU, he has shown incredible strength of character and a spirit that has touched everyone he meets.
