Thank you to the Oregon-Brooklyn Optimist Club
The club is a longstanding local chapter of Optimist International that has proudly served the Oregon and Brooklyn communities in Dane and Green counties for more than 50 years. Since its chartering in June 1969, the club has been dedicated to its mission of “bringing out the best in kids” by supporting programs and initiatives that promote leadership, character development, community service, and philanthropy among local youth. Through its commitment to fostering hard work, good citizenship, and positive values, the club has made a lasting impact on generations of young people and their families.
Just this past week Nolan Rule was a recipient of the Optimist award. His dedication, positivity, and commitment truly embody the spirit of this award.
