Fundraising

As the primary source of funding, the Christmas Tree and Greens sale allows us to fund and support local youth through scholarships and sponsored events. The Christmas Tree Sale is held the Saturday after Thanksgiving through Christmas week (or until trees are sold out!) Mon-Fri: 4-7pm, Sat & Sun:12-4pm. The trees are beautiful, reasonably priced, and guaranteed to last the holiday season.

The sale is held on Solomons Island across from the Calvert Marine Museum. Stop by and say hello to your local Optimists and start your holiday season with a lush natural tree that won’t just enhance your home but give to area youth throughout the year.  

Raffles

The club recently sold raffle tickets as a fundraiser for our Kenny Hoofnagle Memorial Scholarship. Pictured below are Club President Candace Milcarzyk and Kenny Hoofnagle’s widow, Dee drawing the first winners.
