WARSAW — To celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Optimist International, the Warsaw Evening Optimist Club recently made a donation of 100 Crayola items to the Baker Youth Club.  

The newly-formed Warsaw Evening Optimist Club is a volunteer club created by women, friendly and welcoming to all, and formed to benefit the children of our communities as we encourage, enrich, and empower women to succeed in a diverse world.  

The Club meets at Wire & Steam Coffee House on the first and third Thursdays of each month at 5:30 p.m. for an hour.  Anyone is welcome and encouraged to attend.  For more information, contact Trina Hoy at (574) 551-6386.
