Lebanon Oregon Legacy Club

Directions

Lebanon Oregon Legacy Club By providing hope and positive vision, the Lebanon Oregon Legacy Club bring out the best in kids. Come join us Thursdays at noon at James Gang Pizza.

Since 1919, and now in more than 2,800 Optimist Clubs around the world, the volunteers of Optimist International are dedicated to "Bringing Out the Best in Kids." Adult volunteers join Optimist Clubs to conduct positive service projects in their communities aimed at providing a helping hand to youth. With their upbeat attitude, Optimist Club members help empower young people to be the best they can be. Each Optimist Club determines the needs of the young people in its community and conducts programs to meet those needs. Every year, Optimists conduct 65,000 service projects and serve well over six million young people. The Lebanon Optimists are a community service group concentrating on the development of opportunities for youth. We are a not-for-profit organization that operates on the income received from annual membership dues and various service events. Our motto is "A Friend of Youth." Our positive approach, upbeat outlook, and commitment to creating a more optimistic future for kids is what differentiates our club from any other civic group. Although we come from all walks of life, Lebanon Optimists share one common trait: We can make a difference in the lives of others. The Lebanon Optimists meet every Thursday for lunch at 12:00 p.m. at the American Legion Post 51 on Main st. Our weekly meetings encompass discussions on the various activities we manage, promote and / or sponsor for the benefit of youth. We welcome all visitors in joining us as we share laughs, tell stories, and serve our community and beyond. Stop in and see us in action! We are happy to have all of those visiting who are interested in our mission!

Our club is saddened by the passing of Bill Rauch, one of the early members of the Lebanon Optimist Club (now the Legacy Club), and a man who truly made a lasting impact on our community. Bill was instrumental in helping bring two special projects to life -- the gazebos in both Ralston Park and Academy Square -- built through the efforts of the Lebanon Optimist Club. His dedication, hard work, and commitment to Lebanon helped create places that continue to be enjoyed by our community today.

In honor of Bill and to allow our members to attend his celebration of life, the Club will cancel our Sept. 10 regular meeting. Bill’s celebration of life will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 10, at the River Center, 3000 S. Santiam Highway, here in Lebanon.

We extend our deepest condolences to Bill’s family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. Thank you, Bill, for helping leave Lebanon a better place. Your legacy lives on.
