Grain Valley Optimist Blog farewell....

Hello members, I have been informed by email that the club of Grain Valley Optimist will dissolve and a newly formed club will be in place. I just wanted to extend mine and John's comment on this last posting of the club blog. We truly did enjoy this club and glad that your doing what is needed to continue to support the youth of the community. John loves to brag about the doings this club has done and does. I will be putting out a new blog and will use the same email addresses unless someone sends me an email to remove you off the list. Keep up the good work and thanks for the memories.
The activities from the past that I can remember even if they were not done anymore were:
The Chili Supper
Easter Hunt
Plant Sale
Bike Safety
Respect for Law
Teacher's Appreciation
Valley Fair Daze parade
Bull Frog Jump
Bingo
Haunted Hayride
Talk to Santa
and many other supports we gave the community.
What a great job you did and will continue to do. We do miss you and the small town of Grain Valley. My sister passed by there two weeks ago when going to To Ft Leonard to see daughter graduate from Army boot camp and got off the Grain Valley off ramp and took a picture of the town to have as memories. She came to visit us in September of 2008 and loved it. So did we. So it is not goodbye to the work we have done but just a name change. I look forward to helping with the next blog and as soon as I can get it underway, I will send it out.
Thank you and good luck to all.
