Well from time to time, it becomes necessary to update this tabloid with parental news. Since most of our news typically involves chasing kids, this "item" is somewhat unique. Side Track and I both helped found an Optimist Club in Mankato. Pictured above is the swearing in of the board members of which we both are members. Side Track is second from the left and Buzz Daddy is the balding guy on the right.Side Track is a board member and Buzz Daddy was elected as the Charter President (scary as that may be).
For those unfamiliar with Optimist International, they have several hundred service clubs throughout the world. The primary beneficiaries of this organization's efforts are local youth. The club organizes and participates in a wide variety of activities, events and intiatives that help bring out the best in kids. Not only that, but they also have a really good time doing it.
If you have time and interest, I'd encourage you to see if there is an Optimist Club in YOUR community. It's a fun and very worthwhile organization.
