Congratulations to all 20 Optimist Clubs that sponsored Essay contests and to their students that entered. The judges said that it was hard work and they were amazed at the 20 different approaches to the topic. It took them three weeks to go through the essays and choose 5 each. I then took a few days to tally the scores. We know that the future will be in good hands.

Optimistically,
