Purpose of the Optimist Club

An Optimist Club is a voluntary organization of civic-minded men and women banded together for progressive thought and action in community service. Membership is composed of citizens drawn from business, industry, agriculture and the professions. Members are motivated by the desire to contribute to the community from which they and their families draw daily benefits. There is no greater opportunity for participation in community affairs and service than in an Optimist Club.

The moto of Optimist International, of which our club is a member has the moto Friend of Youth. Our goal is to sponsor programs that educate youth, develop character through projects and encourage good sportsmanship and citizenship.
