Thirty-seven years of Miami Lakes Optimist Club history succumbed to an excavator in late August as the aging clubhouse was demolished to make way for a new state-of-the-art building to be constructed by the Town of Miami Lakes.
Hurricane Wilma swept over the clubhouse in 2005 and it was deemed unrepairable. The new clubhouse and gymnasium is part of a master plan to renovate Miami Lakes Optimist Park.
