The Seward Optimist Club has annually helped out as servers since 2017 for the Goehner Centennial Players Melodrama Dinner theater at one of their nine performances scheduled during the months of May and June. A prime rib dinner is served. Proceeds from this melodrama have been used to award over $260,000 in local area benefits and scholarships to over 255 students from the Goehner Centennial Scholarship Fund.
