The Glen Lake Optimist Club celebrated an incredible milestone, 75 years of serving young people, families and the community!
MN Chronicle and PARLE, MN were on-site at Glen Lake Fields to capture the celebration and connect with Optimist Club President Wade Wessels and Board Member Joe Ruekert about the organization’s history, community impact and what’s ahead.
For 75 years, the Glen Lake Optimist Club has lived its mission of bringing out the best in kids through service, relationships and community support.
Congratulations to Wade, Joe and the entire Optimist Club family on 75 years of impact. Here’s to the next chapter!
