It is that time of year again when the Menomonie Optimist Club hosts the Optimist International Oratorical Contest in hopes on having one of our Dunn County students bring home the District’s $2,500 Scholarship.  This year the judges at the District Competition will also choose one speaker to compete at the very first International Oratorical Contest June 23rd and 24th.  The winner at the International Contest is $15,000 scholarship!  Wouldn’t that be a great way to pave the path to college!  You can pick up an information sheet and application in the front office.  Applications are due March 25th, 2016.
