Coronado has been home to a chapter of the Optimist International organization for 50 years. On Sept. 28, 1970 a group of 26 Coronadans, led by Dave Nash and the first president of the club, Tom Meadows, chartered the Optimist Club of Coronado to serve the communityâs youth.
Today the Optimist Club of Coronado continues in its mission with current president, Robert Kracht and current Club Representative to the District, Diana Drummey. Both longtime members of the chapter here in Coronado, Kracht and Drummey were drawn to clubâs ideals and opportunities to serve in ways that bring people together. âThe camaraderie; the fact that we are a community club that makes the children a priority. I believe that is what draws us together. Our Optimist Creed also inspires people and that is another draw for new members,â Drummey said.
