Optimist Meeting Minutes
Guests: We had our Respect for Law Day which gives the club the opportunity to honor a well-deserving community member who is committed to cultivating a respect for law in our youth. The club presented this year’s award to Joanna Russello who is an attendance specialist at Adams County Children and Youth Services. She was accompanied by her husband, Sal and her son, Sonny. Her co-workers Scott Birdsall and Lynne Alwine also came out to show their support. Joanna has been employed by CYS for 7 years. In her current position she focuses on truancy prevention. She assists Adams County school systems in developing strategies to combat truancy and she helps to educate parents and students on the consequences of truancy. She shared examples of how CYS impacts local families. Joanna graciously accepted the award and wanted to share the recognition with her fellow employees at Adams County Children and Youth Services.
Golf: Again the tournament was very successful and we appreciate everyone’s help. We look forward to using this money to support local youth programs. Thank you notes are in the process of being sent out. Don’t hesitate to personally thank our sponsors and golfers. We hope to schedule a date for next year soon.
Soccer Parking: Don sent around a sign-up sheet for the soccer parking on August 23rd and 24th. There are still a few slots open. Please contact Don ([email protected]) if you are able to help.
