Youth Appreciation

        Youth Appreciation is a program of Optimist International that recognizes the Youth in our communities for outstanding service in their community. 

      The Bay City Noon Optimist Club has recognized the students from the local area schools for close to 40 years. The students are presented with a certificate suitable for framing, and the Mayor of Bay City presents each youth with a "Youth Appreciation Proclamation" certificate . The  youths are chosen from within their respective schools by the recommendation of school personnel.
