Need a little extra cash around tax time? Then you should join an Optimist Club in the Boise Valley. On Wednesday, April 14, both the Caldwell and Meridian Optimist Clubs had lucky winners drawn in their progressive membership drawing. Anita Welchel, president-elect was the lucky winner in Caldwell and in Meridian new member Mel Landaluce pocketed a quick $185. The drawings are fundraisers for both clubs with proceeds going to offset such things as speakers, visitors and guests meals. The raffle can sometimes run for a nearly a full year before a winner is drawn. Congratulations ladies!
