Optimist Football and the Middleton Area

The Middleton Area Optimist Club came together for their regular meeting on October 25. A few of the regular attendees were out of town, but we still gathered with fifteen members to hear about Optimist Football from Middleton resident Steve Turner.

Steve has been the area director for the Middleton program that currently plays through the Nampa facility in the Boise Noon Football league for children up to twelve years of age. He explained how the teams sign-up players, recruit coaches and volunteers and described the potential for bringing weekly games to the Middleton Middle School football fields.  The Middleton Area Optimist Club is interested in participating in the program and President Patrick Halpin will be getting more information from Steve about the real costs and time involvement so the club can make an informed decision on how to proceed.

Also in the spotlight was the Television Raffle. Secretary/Treasurer Estela Cabrera explained that more members needed to step-up to sales or we would soon be at the deadline with not enought tickets sold. If you have not picked up 10 tickets to sell, please do so at our next meeting on Monday, November 1. We'll also have a schedule and locations to sell tickets to the public at that time.

Please be sure to join us on Monday, November 1, 6:30 p.m. at the Sunrise.
