DIXON – A rebirth of the Dixon Optimist Club is six members away.

Dixon resident Michael Murphy, who is organizing the effort to rebuild the community service club that disbanded in 1999, said 15 members are needed to create a charter with the Optimists International. So far, the Dixon effort has nine.

Meeting times and locations have changed since his effort started. Club hopefuls plan to meet at 1 p.m. every third Wednesday of the month in the upstairs banquet room of Mama Cimino’s, instead of Wendy’s, where they first met.
