Experience Optimism: Boxing program helps keep youths out of trouble

Governor Linda Jackson and Lt. Governor Sue Thompson were invited to the Caldwell Optimist Club Silver Belt Invitational Boxing Championships on February 27, 2010. Together with their spouses they were treated like VIPs and even participated in presenting awards to the boxers who competed in weight classes 70 lbs. to 185 lbs.

The Caldwell Optimist Club has developed quite a program with the Police Activities League and together they give children a path to a life away from gangs and crime. Please read more here: Experience Optimism: Boxing program helps keep youths out of trouble
