Registration is now open for one of the most popular events of the year: The Third Quarter PNW Optimist District Conference. It's at this event that we get to see and hear the most talented oratorical and CCDHH contestants.

Both scholarship contests are gender neutral and boys and girls compete against one another. Both contests will award scholarship prizes in the following amount: 1st - $2,500; 2nd - $1,500; and 3rd - $1,000.
