The Brighton Optimist Club is a community service organization whose motto is 'Bringing Out The Best In Kids'. Perhaps best known for the Free Fishing Derby for Kids at the Brighton Millpond every June, they do many other notable things.
In their 30 year history, they've given out tens of thousands of dollars in scholarships, conduct an Oratorical Contest to encourage public speaking in youth, recognize area youth through their Youth Appreciation events and Public Safety professionals through Respect For Law days. The Brighton Optimist Club was also the group that started the effort towards what is now the SELCRA Meijer's Skate Park. The group is supporting the only remaining Junior Achievement Program in Livingston County.
As part of their annual fundraising efforts, they are organizing a Golf Outing for May 17, 2008. It will start at 1pm at Whispering Pines Golf Club in Pinckney. They're looking for golfers and sponsors. Please visit their online registration page at http://www.regonline.com/Checkin.asp?EventId=610749 to register to golf, or click on the 'event details' link on that page for more information. Help the Optimists help our area's youth - and have a great time while doing so.
Register as a golfer or sponsor today! The Brighton Optimist Club Foundation is an IRS-recognized 501 (c)(3) organization.
