Reaching for Stars in Our
Community
I
am proud of the Henderson Optimist Club and the outstanding members who work
so hard to bring recognition and awards for improving the community through
their support for youth activities and positive civic endeavors. They are
"stars"! Optimist members are shinning examples of how to encourage the
youth in our area with the numerous scholarships, recognitions, awards, and
financial support. Our membership’s strong commitment to helping young
people is one of the most positive aspects of this community. We continue to
reach out to other "stars" in our community who share the belief that
helping young folks will help the community itself and we invite those stars
to join us in the fun.
Our club reaches for "stars" among our young people
through efforts such as Attend and Win, Read and Win, Secondary school level
student Octagon clubs, athletic competitions, academic competitions, and
scholarships. Our members interact with students seeking achievement and
academic success, democratic freedoms, the love of learning, and those
"stars" who make us all proud. This club allows us to associate with youth
who give us the renewed feeling that there is good in them and that they
will be active and caring community leaders of tomorrow.
Optimist members are star gazers and star
raisers and we are reaching for stars in our community. Come join our
club -- the sky is the limit of what you can achieve for our youth.
