24th Annual Fishing DerbyBrighton, Michigan June 12, 2010
We were pleased to have Michigan District Optimist Gov. Dorothy Tyler and First Gentleman Norman attend. We had visits from past members Les & Lauretta Miller, C J Teahan, and Sue Burkhart, too. Doyle Carter from the Huron Valley Optimist Club also helped out, and Chef Tim handled the loaner pole rack. This isn't a full list and sorry if I missed anybody, but I'll leave that for Derby Chairperson Donna Campbell, who deserves a lot of credit for another successful derby. Final count was around 260 kids registered, but we know there were some others that showed up and didn't register.
The crowd enjoyed the entertainment by the Jumpin' All Stars, and Gov. Dorothy got into the act, too. It was a great day!
Well in Ludington today, dozens of kids set up stands throughout town but with the purpose of raising money for their peers suffering from cancer.
These kids sold lemonade for the Ludington Optimist Club's Childhood Cancer Campaign.
All the money that the 17 stands collected today will go right toward helping local families deal with the cost of cancer treatments.
Organizers hoped to raise between $3,000-4,000 with today's fundraiser.
