We had a great meeting today with 13 in attendance to hear Ms. Muriel Creamer speak about the Nassau County School Board and our schools in general. She provided plenty of information. After she spoke our President, Ron Noble, inducted Ms. Creamer into the club as a new member. Muriel was a charter member of the Yulee Optimist Club and a past President - it's great to have her back!
