Last Thursday, the Brothertown Optimist Club hosted their meeting with 2 speakers, Eleanor Petrie on the benefits of Yoga, and Joe Misiaszek on the Mountain Bike Club.

The Optimist also recently awarded the winners of the annual Essay Contest. This year's topic was "When All the World's Problems are Solved, is Optimism Still Necessary?"

First Place went to Madison Decker, 12th grade (pictured).
Second Place to Tyler Barth, 8th grade
Third Place to Natalee Collins, 8th grade

For those celebrating Easter, many options popped up throughout Holy Week and the weekend.

The 51st Cross Walk took place. The cross started at the Methodist Church with a short service. Then, traveled to the Waterville Residential Care Center for a service before traveling back.

***

Just a few misting sprinkles, but plenty of happy smiles and full baskets met the Rotary Easter Egg Hunt, located at the Waterville Public Library.

The three egg hunters who found the Golden Egg of their respective age group areas!

Looking towards next weekend!
