Hillsboro Optimist Member Bill French, and current Optimist International Foundation Representative presented Club President Monte Akers with his 'Past-Lieutenant Pin' at today's meeting.
Mr. French spoke about the Optimist International Foundation contributing each year to the Oratorical and Essay Contests, and how he believes that it is still important as a club to give back to the International Foundation. In years past the Hillsboro Optimist Club has donated a certain amount per member to the Foundation, and club Secretary Tammi Hilp confirmed that the club will do so again this year.
In an effort to raise funds for the Optimist International Foundation and the Hillsboro Optimist Club, Bill French and Monte Akers have Optimist apparel and pins available for purchase. To purchase, please let Monte or Bill know what you would like.
- Diamond Days Pin from Bill $40
- PNWD Shirts from Bill $30
