Debbie Schumaker co chair person with the Junior optimist club went with the Eldridge boys, Ayden the president and Addisen the VP to the Festus police department and fire department in November. They presented them a Thanksgiving cake their mother made for each. What a nice act of kindness. Great job and Happy Thanksgiving to all of you from the Junior optimist club.

- JOI and Twin City Area Optimist clubs shopped for the Crisis Nursery in November. Checked out with 109 items in less than an hour. Thanks to all involved. What a team and lots of fun. Because of this project children will have a better Christmas with essentials and toys.
