OI Foundation thanks Sunset Liguanea

The Optimist Club of Sunset Liguanea is today getting kudos for fulfilling their promise to this year make a contribution to Optimist International Foundation (OIF) - the body that is largely responsible for the many scholarship programmes run by Optimist International.  
In an appreciation letter addressed to President Glaister and Secretary Treasurer Dahlia, the OIF says, "Without the support of people like you, Optimist International Foundation would not be able to accomplish its mission".  The Caribbean District Zone 4 club held a couple activities including a Bingo party specifically to raise funds for OIF and was able to contribute four hundred dollars (USD400) to support the organization's mission.
The tag line for the Foundation says it all - Helping Optimists Help Kids. The mission is just as clear: Seeking, receiving and managing funds and real personal property for the benefit of Optimist International and its Member Clubs in its charitable, literary and educational activities". The scholarship contests - Essay, Oratorical, and the Communication Contest for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing - as well as the Cure Childhood Cancer Campaign are among the activities  supported by the OIF.
There are several ways to support the Optimist International Foundation. Visit the website at oifoundation.org or talk with District Chairperson Dave (Wilson) and make your contribution today.
Way to go Sunset Liguanea! Congrats to the team.
