The Osceola Optimist Club is currently raising funds for construction of a toddler playground in Optimist Park. The proposed project, consisting of purchasing play equipment, equipment installation, and purchase/installation of a safety fence, is at an estimated cost of $45,000. Those interested in donating toward the project can speak with an optimist member or mail the tax-deductible contribution to Osceola Optimists Foundation, P.O. Box 471, Osceola, 64776. For more information about the project, see the article in the Feb. 26 edition of the St. Clair County Courier or visit the website at stclaircourier.com.
