Recognition Nignt May 9, 2013 We had 39 seniors attending the 47th Youth Recognition
Dinner on Thursday, May 9th. Including parents, friends, and Club members a
total of 115 were present at the Knott's Berry Farm Resort Hotel. Captain Tim
Murakami from the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department was the guest speaker. He
presented an excellent speech which was very relevant for the graduating
students. His humor and experiences kept the attention of all in the audience.
We want to thank club member, Gene Murakami for arranging to have his nephew as
speaker. Our Club awarded 3 boys and 3 girls scholarships of $500.00 each. Bobby
Iwashita and Stan Enomoto had a heck of a time deciding on the winners. We had a good turn out of members and hope more will
attend next year's event. SOC
Golf Tournament May 20, 2013 Hi Everyone, Congratulations on another successful golf tournament. If I'm not mistaken,
at the least, we had a full field of 144 players this year that turned out to
play. I think this is one of the largest SOC golf tournament to my knowledge. I
don't think we had more than a couple of no shows and that says a lot for the
popularity of our tournament. I spoke with all of the participants from the
insurance industry and they enjoy our event as it is different from the normal
industry tournaments. They can come out and enjoy playing a great course and
relax and have fun. Great job by all of the volunteers and committee members. Al did a great job
in receipting the entries and fees. Also, maintained his sanity with all of the
updates, changes, name corrections, etc. Eric did a great job in recording all
of the raffle prize donations and he assured me, the thank you letters will be
sent sooner this year. Dan did a great job in getting the credit card scanners
and making sure all of the donations and purchases were recorded. Thanks to Gary
Fukushima and Scott Iwamoto for letting us use their cell phones for the credit
card scanners. As always, Steve did a great job in MC'ing the event and getting
the Nisei Week volunteers to the banquet. Last but least, Miles did a great job
in coordinating the contract and details with Yorba Linda CC, Million Dollar
Hole-In-One event, Tee signs and drinks. Again, fantastic job by all of the committee members and thank you for your
time and efforts. Eiji
The Suburban Optimist Club or SOC as we are generally known has maintained its status as a Century Club with over 100 dedicated members throughout the years.As our motto is "Friend of the Youth" the focus of our club is geared to helping the youth from programs ranging from Bicycle Safety to our Youth Youth Sports Group. With more that a dozen program deserving high school seniors, these efforts could not be successfully accomplished without adequate fund raising efforts. Fund raising is an integral part of the club's activities. Our fund raiser can be fun as well as hard work but it is always a source of camaraderie and accomplishment each year.Optimism is believing in the best for our future. The Suburban Optimist Club provides the opportunity to help play a major role in the development of our future leaders of tomorrow.Suburban Optimist Club of Buena Park Officers
