Hensall Optimists plan activities
By Liz Sangster
Hensall correspondent
HENSALL - Hensall and District
Optimists held their September
meeting last week. Lt. Gov. Alex
Irvine, past president turned the
gavel over to the new president
elect Janis Bisback.
The summer's activities were re-
viewed and plans were discussed in
regards to this years calendar of
events. Kicking off this fall will be
a teen dance following the family
dinner October 18 at 8 p.m.
More dances are planned for the
fall and winter but due to a lack of
parent volunteers it will not be pos-
sible to hold more than one a
month, another idea which was
popular among teens has been a
sports night where young people
can play basketball, floor hockey
and volleyball.
The Optimists can only sponsor
these kinds of events with the help
of new members interested in pro-
viding healthy outlets for young
people in Hensall. Roaming the
streets with nothing to do is not
what we want for our teens. We
need interested adults able to give
support and leadership in a variety
of programs.
Find out more about putting the
philosophy of Optimism to work in
your life, in your family and in our
community by attending the next
meeting, coming up Tuesday, Octo-
ber 8 at 7:30 p.m. to be held in the
board room of W.G. Thompsons in
Hensall. This is going to be a desert
meeting, so save room after supper
and join us. Bring your creative
ideas and optimistic attitude about
supporting young people here in
Hensall. For more information call
262-3505.
