Clyde E. Williams Jr. was an active Gettysburg Optimist Club member for more than 50 years. From the very beginning of the Clubs Charter in 1958, Clyde dedicated much of his spare time to supporting the Gettysburg communities youth through the Gettysburg Optimist Club. The founder and owner of C. E. Williams & Sons Inc., he worked passionately for more than five decades to raise tens of thousands of dollars annually for dozens of local Optimist youth programs. His dedication, long-time commitment and service to “Bringing out the Best in Kids”, was an inspiration to generations of Gettysburg Optimist Club members.
This year The Optimist Club’s eighth annual golf outing will become the Clyde E. Williams Jr. Memorial Golf Tournament in honor of his life-long dedication to living the principles of Optimism. The event will be held at the Links of Gettysburg on May 17, 2018 with a Tee Off at 1:00 PM. The contest features prizes for best overall performances, longest drives, closest to the pin, hole-in-one and “Green of Gold”. All funds from this charitable event will support more than 15 youth related programs conducted each year throughout the Gettysburg community. Sponsorship opportunities still exist for organizations and individuals who wish to support the efforts of the Gettysburg Optimist Club.

The Gettysburg Optimist Club needs your support to continue its work by sponsoring or registering today for The Clyde E. Williams Jr. Memorial Golf Tournament.”
