West Tacoma Optimist Club
A two-page installation address delivered by incoming president Ron Pretti used a mountain-climbing theme to call for membership growth, stronger youth and community service, fellowship, fundraising, and interclub exchange.
A handwritten club-history album page identifies West Tacoma Optimist members and records first ROAPS designees for 1975. The names are transcribed only where the handwriting is clear.
Six photographs on a club album page show speakers, awards, dinner fellowship, and presentations. A banner visible in the photographs supplies the approximate 1974–75 date range.
An album photograph records an officer oath or installation ceremony on October 13, 1970. Handwritten annotations identify several participants, but some names remain provisional.
Optimist International presented this award to the Optimist Club of West Tacoma for motivating young people in the spirit of “Friend of the Boy.”
