    Our Optimist table at Helping Hands for the Holidays was a success thanks to our club and youth volunteers who assisted in making samples of Christmas tree ornaments. Additionally, our members interacted with visitors, spreading the word about our club, and youth demonstrated how to assemble different do-it-yourself ornaments from the provided kits. Our guests had the option to showcase their creativity right on the spot or take their chosen ornament kits home. Anyone was able to treat themself to a holiday chocolate right at our table. More than a hundred people visited us that day.

   Also, we had two gift cards for adults and eight children’s games to raffle among visitors at the end of the event. The tickets were free of charge to anyone who felt lucky.

Congratulations to our raffle winners:

Ashley T (gift card), Mel C. (gift card), Gyace ( Electronic Music Inventor Kit), Rocking Rover (Maria H), Labyrinth Jr. ( Steve M.), Cogno ( Christina M), Monster Truck Rally (Lauren J.) and others.

Thank you for participating and supporting our event!

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and

a Happy New Year!
