The Clarkston Area Optimist Club received honors at the Feb. 11 Optimist International Michigan District Meeting at Oakland Community College in Auburn Hills.
The honors were based on activities during the 2004-2005 year. Gold Honor Club, Honor Club and Star Honor Club awards were presented to Clarkston Optimists Mike Page, past president; Nancy Knitter, secretary; and Joe Barger, treasurer.
Nancy Knitter was awarded a Master Secretary Pin for fulfilling all the requirements of that office the past three years.
The club’s involvement with the Clarkston Jr. High Pride Day last September was honored with the best Community Projects Award for the entire Michigan District of over 100 clubs. This project will now be judged nationally and the winner announced at the International Convention in Nashville in July of this year.
The Clarkston Area Optimist Club meets every Wednesday morning at 7:30 a.m. at Liberty Golf and Banquet Center. Anyone interested in supporting projects benefiting Clarkston kids are welcome.
