Show respect for law enforcement
Letters to the Editor
To the editor:
The Jay County Optimist Clubs are honoring all the police officers who work in Jay County.
It is our hope and wish that the residents of Jay County will also show respect for our law enforcement officers always but make a special effort for Respect the Law Week May 1 through 6.
Through the Jay County Optimist Respect for Law Week, Jay County Optimist members will honor and show respect for all city, county and state law enforcement officers in Jay County. We will distribute cards of appreciation with a coupon and well wishes to officers.
We believe it is important as citizens to abide by the law, respect law enforcement and do what we can to maintain peace. We hope our project lets officers know we appreciate them and what they do.
The local Breakfast Optimist Club was started in 1975, with the Portland Evening Optimist and West Jay Optimist clubs established later. More than $1 million of Optimist projects have come to fruition since the establishment of the first Optimist club in Jay County.
Optimist International is one of the largest service club organizations in the world, with clubs in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and throughout the world.
Respect for Law is one of the organization’s most popular programs. More than 1,500 clubs participate annually.
Carrying the motto “Bringing Out the Best in Kids,” Optimists conduct positive service projects that reach more than seven million young people each year.
To learn more about the Optimist clubs in Jay County, please contact Dave Cramer, president of Portland Breakfast Optimist Club, at (260) 726-9492, Lisa Evans, president of Portland Evening Optimist Club, at (260) 726-7056 or Sandy Doyle, president of West Jay Optimist Club, at (765) 369-3017.
