An outstanding achievement for Odie Bartlett of Middlesex Centre! At the Optimist District ¼ Board meeting in Kirkton on May 3, Odie was awarded a $2500.00 scholarship as winner of the Midwestern Ontario District of Optimists International, Oratorical Competition. He is eligible to compete on July 17 in the Optimist International contest hosted in St. Louis, Missouri, where additional significant prizes are offered for regional and world competition.
