The Coldwater Optimist Club recently donated $1,000 to Coldwater Elementary School, specifically earmarked to assist students who are facing economic hardships.
This contribution underscores the club’s dedication to improving the lives of local children and promoting educational success throughout the community. The donation will be allocated toward purchasing needed school supplies, computer programs and general academic support of students. Administrators at Coldwater Elementary said the funds will help ensure every child has access to the tools and experiences required for a well-rounded education.
“The Coldwater Optimist Club is committed to assisting students in their learning process,” said Coldwater Optimist Club president, Dr. Deran Cathey. “This is just one way we’ve chosen to do so this year.”
The Coldwater Optimist Club, a local chapter of Optimist International is dedicated to their motto: “friend of youth, bringing out the best in youth and in the community.”
The club conducts various fundraising and service projects including an annual Essay Contest and an Oratorical Contest designed to foster positive youth development and scholarship opportunities.
The Coldwater Optimist Club has proudly been serving the children of Tate County and the community since 1998. For more information about the Club or to learn how to become involved, readers are encouraged to contact the club directly or attend their monthly meeting every second Monday at the Coldwater Library.
