The Optimist Club of Issaquah's
4th Annual Bike Safety Fairs, both in Bellevue & Issaquah; The events
are FREE and help teach children basic bicycle safety (just in time for
Summer!) and we provide free helmets, fitted by police officers to those
children who do not have or cannot afford them.
Bike
Safety Fair flier
OptimistIs.org
Why have a Bike Safety Fair? To instill the importance of bike safety in
children of
elementary school age, so they don’t become part of the startling statistics
pertaining to
children and head injuries, caused by improper equipment, lack of bike
handling skills
and not being aware of the rules of the road. The purpose of the Bike Safety
Fair is also
to provide helmets to children, whose families cannot afford a bike helmet.
At the Bike Safety Fair children participate in bike activities to teach them
“safety” in a fun environment. These include bike/helmet inspection,
bike tune-up station, obstacle course with stop signs, crosswalk and more,
interaction with police officers and fire fighters, bike registration, My ID
program, etc. Also fun activities such as face painting! Parents will
find community health, safety, educational and recreational resources.
Bring non-perishable food items for our on-site Food Drive Many children
depend heavily on subsidized school lunches as their main meal and nutrition
source of the day. During school breaks, there is increased demand at food
banks when these lunch programs for children are not operating. We will
collect food items at the event so the food banks can meet this critical
need.

Our camps offer the best skill development with scientifically proven techniques used by all successful college and professional players. Brad is known as one of the best pitching instructors in the country. We give players a proven set of fundamentals for each skill thus allowing them specific check points to work on to be successful and we teach them how to make their own corrections if they are not successful. These techniques work for all players of all ages and ability levels.
What sets our camps apart from all others is our mental dynamics program. We have players take part in exercises as: Manners exercise, Goal Setting, Self Image Development, Leadership, Relaxation, Focus and Concentration, and Emotional Control. The feedback from parents on the impact of these exercises in phenomenal.
What maximizes the quality of our camps is players play 3-4 games per day, putting in to practice the newly acquired skills they have learned. Our camps are great…fun, instructional in nature. Our summer camps also serve as a try-out for our Eastside Huskies Baseball Club select tournaments teams.
