UW-Whitewater/Community Optimist Club

On Monday, April 10th, the remaining Birthday Boxes were wrapped and sent to the Whitewater Food Pantry. Our goal was to donate 60 boxes, and we exceeded our goal with a total of 67 boxes! 24 boxes of cake mix, 22 containers of frosting, and 31 gallon-zip bags of various birthday supplies were delivered and accepted with gratitude. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to making so many children’s birthday wishes coming true!

On Saturday, April 8th, the Annual Optimist Easter Egg Hunt was a huge success at the Whitewater Middle School! Thank you to all Club members, Student Optimists, Kayla (one of the Optimist interns), Connie Murray and her stepson (the Easter Bunny), and other community volunteers who helped to facilitate the event. We had beautiful weather and a record turn out! Watch for a story on the Whitewater Banner and in local papers.  You can find a photos from event in our photo gallery and on our UW-W Community Optimist Club Facebook page!

Keep on smiling, Optimists; spring is here. 🙂
