(Photo by Hook) Optimistswant higher .profile, new members When Bill Henderson first got involved with Seaforth's Optimists, after he moved back to his hometown in 1980, he didn't know if it was the club for him. "1 wasn't sure I should join. I wasn't active much at all that first year." But then, gradually, he got interested and more and more involved in the club that over the years has sponsored hundreds of events for Seaforth and area young people. This year, he's president of the 15 -year-old club. Bill tells this story to encourage local men to try out the Optimist Club. "If a light doesn't goon at the first meeting, don't give u The club wants to develop a'higher profile. The new community centres is looking for organizations to hold events there and make it pay. He says. "If we can do that, great." Because of the many activities the club runs — two dances, movie nights and a winter carnival and Atom hockey tourna- ment between now and January alone — the Optimists need more members. "We can't have the same 15 or 20 doing all the work," the new president says. Those are the really active members. The rest of the 31, while they aren't at every meeting, are supporters who help when they're asked. "The mayor's an Optimist. He can't make every meeting, but he's behind us." YOUNGER MEMBERS Members are of all ages. "as many are over 40 as under 40", and younger members are encouraged to run things. Seaforth Optimists have a good track record of running dances for the 19 to 30 -year-olds. Naturally the 17 and 18--`year-olds-want to attend too and some minors do attend. But "a wild' rumor will say three-quarters of the crowd were minors". That's not so, Bill. Henderson stresses. Age of majority cards )will be required for admission to IpWdown, a fifties band, but not for fa ly dances like winter carnival's. Other mily activities the Optimists sponsor i elude bike safety programs; help to ball t ams, Boy Scouts, Family and Children's Services; Disney movie nights and the ery successful Atom Hockey tourpamen It will be held over two weekends in January. With more'ntembers, the Optimists could get involved in Optimist international events, like the oratorical contest which offers the winner S100• scholarship. Anyone who'd like to join or who has ideas for things they'd like the Optimists to organize can call Bill Henderson at S27-0995 (1-l) or -1391 (W).
