Final Banquet-Awards for 2008....




September 28th, at the Historical Society building, the Optimist had their annual award banquet. The main dish was fried chicken with everyone bringing in a dish to share. Dale had a large crowd too as some of the Jr. Optimist and their families came to enjoy the fellowship.The following pictures were some taken during the event and Dale did a great job on handing off the President position to Ann Ronchetto. Ann and her new incoming staff took their oaths and will give her the best support needed during this next year to come. Please enjoy the pictures, some may have come out a little dark as the lighting in the room at evening may not have been the best in some areas.

Our banners were displayed with honor.
