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 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 student with a "Youth Appreciation Proclamation" certificate . The students are chosen from within their respective schools by the recommendation of school personnel.
