Student Oratorical Competition
The art of public speaking can be an important skill. As students prepare for the future, expressing their thoughts and opinions to an audience can be a valuable experience. We would like to give the youth in our community the opportunity to do that through an Oratorical competition. This is will be a yearly competition held in April of each year. Watch this web page for updates in the coming year!
We are in year two of a three year commitment to Grand River Hospital's NICU. Each year we donate $5000 to asist with the purchase of infant respirators. This year we are accepting donations for the NICU at Santa's workshop. Keep your eye on this website for more information on when and where to find Santa's workshop in the village during St. Jacobs Sparkles. All donations will go directly to help out the needs of the NICU and our littlest and newest citizens of our region. The NICU at Grand River is a very special place and still needs more support. To donate directly to the hospital and the NICU, please check the Grand River Hospital Foundation page at http://www.grhf.org/ways-to-give
Time: 10 am sharp - don't be late!
Location: Riverside Park, Water Street, St. Jacobs
Lawn Aerating is back!
This is a valuable service for your lawn and a fundraiser for our club as we continue to provide support for the youth in our community. We had to put things on hold last year due to COVID but we have been planning for this spring and will have safe measures in place from sign up through to aeration.
To sign up for lawn aerating, click here: www.optimistclubofstjacobs.com/LawnAerating
If you do not want your lawn aerated, but would still like to make a donation in support of our youth work in the village of St. Jacobs, please donate via PayPal at www.optimistclubofstjacobs.com/donate
We appreciate all the support we get from the community as we continue to bring out the best in kids.
