The Albany Optimist Club recognized 8 schools at the Youth Appreciation Awards on February 19, 2013. The students were chosen by their school based on leadership in academics, community service, church activities, and citizenship.
The Albany Optimist club has held this event annually for more than 30 years.
Additionally, awards for the Optimist International Essay Contest were given to Daniel Stoner, first place; Emily Henry, second place; Lydia Rose Parker, third place; and Amanda Kitchen, fourth place.
See more information in an article from Karl Kuessel here.
