The Two Newest Club Members Receive Their Certificates

At the November 14, 2013 meeting of the Black Gold Optimist Club of Leduc, the two newest members were officially presented with their Certificates of Membership. Connie Venturin joined in July (during our summer break) and Donna Scott joined in October.

With new Zone 5 Optimist Clubs Lieutenant Governor Patti Welling in attendance for a visit, we were pleased to have her present the Certificates as a special touch.
