"This is the 100th year anniversary of the Optimist Organization so in celebrating that milestone, we hope to get at least 100 letters ordered from the Pea Ridge area," Sandy Lastater, project chair person, said. "All proceeds will benefit cancer research and other cancer related service projects so it's a great fundraiser to support."
