January New Member Induction

January 21, 2026

The Optimist Board was happy to induct 2 new members into the club during our January Board meeting. Stephen and Amy Young. We were honored to hear how they made their way into our community and searched out a club like ours with the help of Justin Dwyer last year. Thanks to their due diligence and questioning how to get avenue of flags in their area. Kent Reyling and Mike Shappard helped reach out to them and institute another area to add to the list. Stephen and Amy will be putting out a few flags in their neighborhood this year.

Thank you Justin Dwyer for always seeking out new members. Thank you to Kent Reyling and Mike Shappard for adding yet another great area to our wonderful Avenue of Flags fund raising.
