Last Optimist Presentation this Tue/ Senior Party Assignments

Hello Friends and Optimist,

This Tuesday will be our last program for the season, but it’s one you won’t want to miss. Isaac and Bjornen Babcock will speak about their experience spending a year in the Frank Church Wilderness filming wolves and other wildlife. PBS produced their work into the Nature film, River of No Return that premiered on April 18, 2012. Here is a chance to listen and talk to them about their incredible story. We will show a short clip, but you can see the preview or watch the full episode here:

We hope to see you there.
