Summer fun with the Optimist Club

The Middleton Area Optimist Club will be around town this summer helping with different events like Block Day, among others, with the Middleton Public Library. We'll be hosting five more Free Movies in the Park on June 21, July 19, August 2, August 16 and September 13. We'll top off the final movie with an Optimist Family Fair so be sure to watch for details. And of course, we'll play BINGO! Bingo games are scheduled for July 12, August 9 and August 23.

But that's not all, folks! We're proud to announce the first Optimist Club Kickball Tournament on August 7. Watch for details here and on Facebook! Put together your team! It will be fun!

BINGO for Doug

In June, the Middleton Area Optimist Club offers its support to a local individual who is suffering from a cancer diagnosis. This year, proceeds from the Pink Out BINGO will go to Doug Corta. Doug is fighting brain cancer.

 All house rules remain the same. You must be 18 or over to participate. There is a $10 minimum buy-in and cash prizes increase when there are more players. 

Doors open at 5:00 p.m. (we try to open earlier), early-bird games begin at 5:30 p.m. and regular games start at 6:00 p.m. Come on down to the Middleton Rural Fire District on June 7, 2014 and support Doug and the Corta family. Thank you.
