As of June 1st we are ending operations as a student organization at Oakland Community College (Official). We have had a hard time maintaining and gaining new members during the COVID pandemic. We have enjoyed our time being a club for almost the past 14 years we have been on campus.
Our club started officially July 1st, 2010 with our advisor Robin Brose with sponsorship from the Clarkston Area Optimist Club. The latest advisors we had before we decided to end operations as a student organization where Robin, Sharleen Longiotti and Richard G Russell Jr.
Our current officers included or amazing long serving President Spencer Stringer who served on the college club as president of the club from 2015 till now so 9 years as our amazing President. We also had one amazing secretary Sravan Kareti who made sure our meetings ran every time when we were on campus and also on Zoom during the pandemic years.
We wanna thank OCC for having us and we will always love you. Maybe one day the OCC optimist club can be back on campus, but not at the moment.
Thank you everyone.
The OCC AH Optimist Club
