Tells Optimists of Mennonite Service
Wilbur Swartzendruber described the Mennonite Disaster Service to the Optimist Club. Originating in Kansas in 1952 the group has grown nationwide with only one paid staffer and volunteers funding operations. They assist disaster victims from cleanup to rebuilding and can mobilize quickly. Jared Sturdevant was introduced as the club’s new member and Schoonover Drug’s pharmacist recently moved from Iowa City with his family. The next meeting is at Winga’s Cafe at 6 45 Tuesday morning.
