President's Column

 

Kathy Novak, is our Club President for the 2020-2021 Optimist year. 

As President of the Clarkston Optimist Club I am extremely excited and honored to lead the Club into it's 35th year.

Optimist Clubs are dedicated to “Bringing out the Best in Kids.”  The Clarkston Optimists exemplify this motto through numerous activities throughout our community.  I believe it is fair to say that you will find an Optimist involved in just about every project, event, and community service program in the Clarkston area.
