Join Optimists in honoring police
Letters to the Editor
To the editor:
The Jay County Optimist Clubs are honoring all the police officers who work in Jay County, and it is our hope and wish that the residents of Jay County will also show respect for our law officers always but make a special effort for the Respect for Law Week April 30 through May 5, 2018.
Through the Jay County Optimist Respect for Law Week, Jay County Optimist members will honor and show respect for all city, countyand state law officers in Jay County and send them a card of appreciation with a coupon and well wishes from the Jay County Optimist Clubs.
We believe it is important as citizens to abide by the law, respect law enforcement and do what we can do to maintain peace. We hope that our project lets officers know that we appreciate them and what they do and will help in this effort.
Optimist was started in 1975 when the Breakfast Optimist Club was established 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 with more than 1,500 clubs participating 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 David Cramer, president of the Portland Breakfast Optimists at (260) 726-9492, Sherry Rowles, president of the Portland Evening Optimist Club at (260) 726-7862 or Jane Crouch, president of the West Jay Optimist Club at (765) 768-7424.
