We're thrilled to share some exciting news! Optimist International has announced the winners of the 2024 Visual Arts Contest, and we’re beaming with pride!

Our local club-level contest, co-hosted with the Waterville Public Library, showcased an amazing collection of creative, colorful, and inspiring artwork from young artists in our community. The talent was truly remarkable!

A huge congratulations to Jaxson Jasek. (age 7) β€”he's been selected as one of the international winners!

Each winning artist will receive a monetary prize, and their artwork will be featured on a set of notecards available for purchase at the Optimist International Convention in June.

Let’s give Jaxson a big round of applause for this incredible achievement! 🎨

Thank you to our sponsors and teams that sponsored and participated in our annual Biddy Basketball tournament for 5th and 6th graders. We are appreciative of our volunteers who served food, refereed games, ran clock, organized, set up, and cleaned up, so that the youth of our community had this opportunity!

The Brothertown Optimist Club proudly recognizes 3 of our members who worked tirelessly to research, write, and present a NY Forward grant that will benefit the Village of Waterville. This week, Brian Bogan, Patty Louise, and Laurie Feuss discovered their efforts paid off, and were presented with a "check" valued at 4.5 million dollars. Their proposal includes many upgrades to our village, which will benefit the youth and future generations. What could be more optimistic than that? Congratulations!!
