Yes, the Pacific Northwest District has taken the Seattle area by storm, starting with a Growth Conference on Wednesday, January 19 and concluding with a youth jazz performance on Saturday evening, January 22.
Danny Rodgers, Optimist International President, led a team of volunteers from across the US and British Columbia to introduce Optimist International and Optimist Clubs to the surrounding communities. The cities of Kirkland and Renton have responded positively and Optimist Club members from the region will follow up to help establish two new Optimist Clubs in their communities.
Plan to participate in the excitement. Helping start a new Optimist Club is a great way to ignite your optimism and remind you why you belong to your Optimist Club.
