Come to the Annual Free Skate

Children of all ages (and parents) are invited to the Coquitlam Optimist Club's annual Free Skate. The event runs from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM on Monday, November 11, at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex (633 Poirier Street, Coquitlam, BC).

Ice time and skate rentals are free courtesy of the Optimist Club. Admission is by donation of a non-perishable food item for the Food Bank. However, no one will be turned away.

This afternoon a family fun is one way that the Optimist Club shows appreciation for the positive contributions of young
people to our community.

We try to live by the Optimist Creed:

Promise yourself -

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind

To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet

To make all your friends feel that there is something in them

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true

To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best

To be just enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

--Christian D. Larson
