Please Support the Optimists
One of the Chess Center’s most reliable supporters for more than 20 years has been the National Capital Optimists Club. Their dedication to helping organizations that work with children and teens is more than admirable; it is an example of the best of humanity.
Their annual Christmas tree sale provides the income they use to support the organizations, including ours. The Optimists are an all-volunteer operation. Leading the sales team is Peyton, pictured above, and she (with other helpers) hand-makes the wreaths the group sells.
The high-quality trees for sale are sourced from Oregon, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina, so they have a great selection of sizes and varieties.
The lot is conveniently located at the Kensington Baptist Church along Connecticut Avenue at Dresden Street, one mile outside the Beltway. http://www.capitaloptimist.org/
