WHAT AN OPTIMIST MEMBER DOES
Being an Optimist Club member means volunteering your time and talents to help with projects in order to make a difference in the life of a child. You can attend meetings and plan activities, when and as your schedule permits. What you receive in return is the satisfaction of helping the youth in our community. By providing hope and a positive vision, Optimists bring out the best in youth, their communities and themselves.
