Optimist Club helps children jump rope

One of my favorite reasons for belonging to an Optimist Club is the ability for our clubs to do what is important in our community.  That varies from Idaho to Florida, Canada to the Caribbean.  Our cultures are different and our priorities vary on how we will bring out the best in children and share our Optimism.

A lot of projects come across my desk, but this is the first time that a jump rope competition has been submitted to me.  And what a jump rope competition it is!  The Optimist Club of Brighton, Michigan sponsored the 2010 Michigan Jump Rope Invitational.  Together with Livingston County and the Jumpin'Allstars, the Optimist Club welcomed teams from all around Michigan for the state tourney sanctioned by the USA Jump Rope. This is one way an Optimist Club can support youth sports for girls and boys.
