The JC Breakfast Optimist Club will have a fundraiser on Monday, February 9 at JC's BBQ & Grill from 11:00 AM until close.  10% of all purchases and donations received will be used to support the club's work in the community. 

The Optimists donate to 15 different youth organizations; The Magdalene Project; offer three scholarships to high school students and support a Junior Optimist Club at each Junction City High School and St. Xavier's Catholic Schools.  To date the club has also donated $1,000 to "Project Lift The Burden" to help with unpaid balances for student's breakfasts and lunches in USD 475.
