Check back often for further updates! Road Rally RecapOn May 25th, we at the Optimist Club of Aurora were thrilled to host our first-ever Road Rally — a fun-filled scavenger hunt around town featuring themed teams, creative challenges, and point-based tasks. With over 100 participants of all ages, it was a fantastic day of community spirit, laughter, and friendly competition. We were proud to serve a delicious BBQ lunch to all participants and share in the joy of the day. This event was a wonderful kickoff to our 40th anniversary celebrations. A heartfelt thank you to our amazing community — your support makes it possible for us to continue offering valuable programs for Aurora’s youth. |
