2010 Safety on Wheels

The Optimist Club of Byron hosted its annual Safety on Wheels event on Sunday June 6^th. Although the weekend weather was suboptimal, by the time the event was setup and
all volunteers on site, the weather cleared and provided a great afternoon to be playing in the lot. The air was filled with music provided by Hiren Mistry, the smell of BBQ’d hot dogs, and great sounds of fun by the participants and family members coaching them on through the skills stations. Throughout the event, prizes were drawn and the event ended with 3 grand prizes.

History of the Club

(excerpt from a publication on the Optimist Club of Byron 50th Anniversary 1950-2000)

For over 50 years the Optimist Club of Byron has put into action the philosophy of Optimism in a variety of youth programs and activities. Most of the young people in Byron have participated on one of more activities sponsored by the Club.

Optimism started in Byron in 1950 when 42 local community minded men met on April 11, 1950 at the Hermitage Club with Optimist members from the Downtown London and Lambeth Optimist Clubs to form the Optimist Club of Byron. Those charter members recognized the needs of the village of Byron and set out to meet those needs.
