WOW EVENT APRIL 6TH

The GATEway District is providing the opportunity to serve children and help others in your community. Our communities need individuals to help those who are having a difficult time due to the pandemic and other related stresses. Optimist International provides us the opportunity to serve those in need, especially children, right in their own communities. For over 100 years, we have been establishing chapters of like-minded, service-oriented volunteers around the world, who desire to be a force of positive change and make a difference in their community. You serve and work along side your neighbors, family, and friends.

There is a call to action for those of us who have the heart and desire to help others!
