HCI Optimist Club

The Penncrest High School HCI Optimist Club joined Rose Tree Media Optimist members in baking cookies, Dec. 15, for distribution to the students at the Juvenile Detention Center in Lima. Pausing for a photo were (seated) HCI Optimist Club faculty advisor Bernadette Dacanay; (front row) Becky Ritter, Brita Brant, Nancy Brant, Dianna Green, Lynn Green, Vellicia Askew, Tiffany Blake and Jeany Cheung; and (back row) Pete Barry, Dr. Joe Haviland, Bob Leveque and Lawrence Blake. Springton Lake Middle School and teacher Robin Heckman generously offered their Consumer Science facilities for the baking. The HCI Optimist Club students wrote special messages on the cookies, including “hope, joy and love,” intended to convey the spirit of the season.
