The Optimist Club of Perry welcomed its newest member at the group’s January meeting Wednesday night in the Cellar of La Poste.
Optimist Club Past President Zack Cregeen presented a membership certificate, packet and pin to Perry’s newest Optimist, Rebekah Thoren, customer service associate at the Great Western Bank in Perry.
Many of the Optimist Club’s 30 members were on hand to welcome Thoren, who thanked her her fellow Optimists for the opportunity to help serve Perry’s youth.
“It’s all about the kids,” Cregeen said, and the membership voiced their aproval.
