PRESIDENTS
We will kick off the new Optimist year beginning October 1st with two presidents who bring a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to the club. They will inspire members to get involved, stay motivated, contribute, and make their voices heard.
President Kim Coelho
I’m a proud Dufferin County native with an extensive business background and a strong passion for giving back to the community I call home. I’m also a parent to 2 adult children, and I love being part of a community where people come together to support one another.
When I’m not volunteering, you’ll often find me out kayaking, spending time with friends, or enjoying a great live music show. What I enjoy most about being part of the club is the opportunity to meet great people, have some fun, and see firsthand how our efforts can make a difference in the community. I’ve been a member of the club for four years and am excited about what’s ahead. I’m looking forward to working alongside Ron, welcoming new members, and making this a fun and active year filled with events and activities that make a real difference — especially in the lives of the youth in our community.
