Essay Contest Recognition Program

The Optimist Club of Southfield-Lathrup Village invites you to celebrate the incredible voices of our local youth! 🎉

Join us on March 7, 2026 at 11:00 AM for our Optimist International Essay Contest Recognition Program and a midday meal as we honor the talented students who participated in this year’s essay contest, sponsored by Optimist International.

This year’s inspiring topic:
“How My Acts of Service Help Me Understand What My Community Means to Me.”

Our students have shared powerful reflections on service, connection, and what it truly means to be part of a community. Their creativity and optimism never fail to inspire us!

Come support these outstanding young writers and help us celebrate their achievements. 💙

We look forward to seeing you there!
