“Living the Unexpected”

Dance recital is always an exciting and fun time of the year. There’s a certain feeling in the air as the parents and grandparents find their seats, flowers in hand, waiting to watch their (probably somewhat mediocre) dancers take the stage. There is something so darn sweet and cute about watching your regular girl transform into a graceful, curtsying, sparkly little dancer. It’s almost as if she is getting to live out the ballerina fantasy right in front of your eyes, and it’s adorable to watch.

Annual Geranium Fundraiser Place Order by March 30 for Delivery April 6

The Junior Altruistic Club was organized in 1926 for the “promotion of volunteerism and improving the community.” Every year, club members volunteer to clean up Tommy Perkin’s Park and maintain flower beds and shrubs. Members also volunteer to clean up several blocks of the downtown area while maintaining the rose bushes and shrubs planted in those blocks. Of course, this helps to improve the looks of our community, but the club also donates money to various organizations that actively strive to improve Olney through beautification, educational and service projects, like Keep Olney Beautiful, the Olney Community Library and Art Center, Toys for Tots and House of Mercy. These are just a few because the Junior Altruistic Club has also supported many other organizations and worthwhile causes over the last 96 years.
