The biggest and longest-running Optimist Club Christmas Tree lot in the PNW District is just about to wrap up another season and according to club member Sharon Speer, it's been a good one.
Sharon sent us a few pictures of the Portland Peninsula Optimist Club that included Santa and his elves at work. (left)
She explained that Mario's, a men's clothing store in Downtown Portland, helped them advertise the tree lot this year. It created a window display with trees and coats that sent their shoppers to the Portland Peninsula Optimist Club tree lot. (right)
Shoppers found a well stocked and well-lit tree lot from which to choose their centerpiece for the Christmas season. (left)
Sharon also explained that the Optimist Club took time at its December 15, 2014 meeting to recognize a past president for his service to the Portland Peninsula Optimist Club. Reverend Bill Van Nostron was celebrated with cake and gratitude during this festive time of year. (right)
Thanks to Sharon Speer, Portland Peninsula Optimist Club, for the photos.
We love stories about your Optimist Club. Please tell us one and we'll add it to the website.
