Optimists Donate to Grant County Volunteer Mentors

L-R: Grant County Social Services-Service Support Specialist Lisa Sanger and Platteville Optimist Club President Bob Hundhausen

Lisa Sanger from Grant County Social Services accepted a check from the Optimist Club for the Grant County Volunteer Mentors. This organization was formerly known as the Big Buddy Program. They expanded their name to encompass all volunteers. The program currently has seventeen volunteers (ages 18-70) that are serving youth ages 5-17. Lisa stresses that there is a need for more volunteers for this rewarding program. The Optimist donation will be used to provide incentives for the program volunteers as they treat them to a big event each year.
