PICKERING, April 6, 2008 .. If the past week-end is any indicated tickets sales for the April 6th, Herongate Barn Theatre performance of the Melville Boys is heading towards a sellout. Being Optimist with a Optimistic mind set, the Oshawa Club are hosting a 5 course buffet meal and matinee live theatre presentation in Pickering. Fifteen couples have signed on after the first weekend of official sales. Oshawa Optimist had a preview of what the Herongate Theatre had to offer on Jan 05th and came back with raving revues. To-date only positive accolades.

Working with Scott Thomson a long time supporter of the Oshawa club his deal presented was better that any Godfather could offer. If just four tickets where purchased by each of the sixty four (64) Cenon Optimist Clubs than our building would be sold out – that’s how simple the math is.

Governor Brian Wick and our Zone 8 Lt. Governor Rick Hubbard endorse this dedicated fundraiser offered by the Oshawa club.

Advance sales are NOW being conducted.
