The Optimist Club of Mitchell’s annual Spooktacular drew more than 3,150 people through the Vorstenbosch bush east of town this past weekend, easily their most ever. Great weather helped as did numerous student volunteers & Optimist members. Well done!!
So thankful to have @AubreyNoronha with us yesterday and last night. Great conversation and presentation about anti-racism. We are all part of the same human family. ❤️
