Optimist Clubs are dedicated to "Bringing Out the Best in Kids, in their communities, and in Themselves" and do their part through community service programs. Since each Club is autonomous and run by members in their community, Optimists have the unique flexibility to serve the youth of their area in the best way possible. Optimist Clubs see a need in their community and react to it.
For over 87 years our Optimist Club has maintained its commitment to the youth and the betterment of our community by forming new clubs to address the growing need. Today several other Optimist Clubs serve our community with more than 200 members. But with today's busier-than-ever schedules, and people moving around, we're in need of a handful of new members who would like to step in and give us a hand.
