What differentiates
Optimist Clubs from any other volunteer opportunity is simple --
Optimism. And Optimists take their upbeat approach and work every day to
make a difference for themselves and the people around them. Optimists are
people who believe that through positive action in their communities they can
create a better tomorrow.
Hello and welcome to the
"Club FUN" website. As President, former vice-president and a charter
member of the Optimist Club of North St. Louis, County I'm here to say that I
am very proud of our club, our members and our successes over the past two
years. I invite you to join us in our quest. We meet twice a month, on the
second and fourth Tuesday from 7-9pm at Meyer's Lounge in the
Cross Keys Shopping Center in Florissant, MO. We have
fellowship, exchange ideas on raising FUNds and we then follow through and
actually raise the FUNds, while having FUN, that we can later donate back to
our community to benefit youth.
We formed 'Club FUN' in December of 1998. The Optimist
International slogan is ' A FRIEND OF YOUTH', twenty-six men and women under
the direction of our former president Charlie Fumagalli got 'Club FUN' going to
do just that and we are still doing it every month. Again I urge you to join
us. I guarantee you the self-satisfaction and FUN that you will encounter will
be well worth your time and efforts.
We have supported different municipalities (Florissant,
Bel-Ridge, Ferguson and more) that have events for youth such as
Breakfast with Santa,
Bicycle Safety, Halloween parties etc. We have experienced the typical
growing pains of any new club or organization. We are continually learning how
to become more successful and more FUN and I again encourage you to join us.
New members bring with them fresh and new ideas which can only enhance 'Club
FUN' which has been proven with the new members that have joined 'Club FUN' in
the past two years.
To promote an
active interest in good government and civic affairs;
To inspire
respect for law;
To promote
patriotism and work for international accord and friendship among all
people;
To aid and
encourage the development of youth in the belief that the giving of one's self
in service to others will advance the well-being of people, the community, and
the world.
Optimistic days until the EMO District Conference.
