Two years ago, the Albany Optimist Club made a commitment to the ABC House. The members
pledged $10,000 to the nonprofit organization that provides child abuse intervention in Benton and Linn Counties with the money earmarked for new facilities construction.
On February 27, 2018, the Albany Optimist Club fulfilled its commitment with the final $3,000 installment. On hand to receive the donation was Jennifer Gilmore-Robinson and she shared pictures of the progress that is being made on the building.
According to club bulletin editor Jack Towns, in a surprise move, the Optimist Club also donated an additional $500 "for good measure" and purchased a $500 table for the organization's upcoming fundraising program.
We extend a big thank you to the Albany Optimist Club for serving the youth and community with this gift.
We love stories about your Optimist Club. Please tell us one and we'll add it to the website.
