Completing The Dream

You will be hearing that phrase a lot over the next three months and for the next four years. That is because the Boise Noon Optimist Club and the City of Boise have reached an agreement or the Optimist to develop the 25 acres to the west of the Optimist Youth Sports Complex (OYSC) and add it to the facility. When completed the OYSC will be 52 acres with a total of (16) football/soccer fields, (2) fishing ponds, (2) covered picnic areas, (2) playgrounds, and paved parking for (1000) cars. It will be a great addition to the Boise City Parks system and one of the finest youth sports facilities in the West.

When we began the work on the current OYSC, we called it our "Field of Dreams" because it represented over 45 years of dreams Of having our facility for the youth football program. We also knew it would only be big enough to handle the kids that were currently in the program and not really handle any future growth. This additional ground will give us the ability to contine to grow and to make sure that Optimist Youth Football and Cheer is available to all youth in the Boise Valley who want to play. As we start to work on funding this addition, we will need your help. Just as before, we need to raise cash, but we also can use donated labor, materials, and just as important, contact and leads to potential donors. With your help and support we can "Complete the Dream."

With heartfelt thanks,
Jerron Moore
