High Five to Optimist Club Volunteers

There is such a focus for our clubs to perform an extraordinary project that we forget that the time we spend volunteering makes just as great an impact.  The Pinal County Fair organizers gave the Sunrise Optimist Club of Casa Grande, Arizona a big shout out the Casa Grande Newspapers.

According to the article, the Sunrise Optimist Club has been manning the gates to the fair since 1977 giving more than three hundred volunteer hours each year. When a volunteer group donates their time they create a spirit of community, and in this case Optimism, from the beginning plus that frees up time and money that can be spent on making the community activity that much more special.

Let's give a big High Five to the Sunrise Optimist Club of Casa Grande.
