Each Optimist Club is chartered as a Member of
Optimist International. This gives the Club the right to use
the Optimist name and provides each Club with services and
programs offered by Optimist International.
Each Optimist Club operates autonomously.
This means they operate independently of each other. They
choose their own activities, elect their own Officers and raise
their own funds. A Club's service activities are based
on the needs of the community. What a Club can do is limited
only by imagination and resources of the Members.
Optimist Clubs do share certain similarities.
This offers you, the Member, the assurance of knowing wherever you
are, should you wish to attend an Optimist Club's meeting, certain
components will be the same.
The programs and guest speakers offer the Members
an opportunity to learn, grow and improve themselves. The
program features the youth in the community, as in the Essay and
Oratorical Contests or in the Youth Appreciation Week.
These meetings help to reinforce our commitment and allow us to
take pride in our accomplishments.
