WELCOME To Our Club Website 
Optimist Clubs are serious about "Bringing Out the Best in Kids" 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 community in any way they see fit. Optimist Clubs see a need in their community and react to it.
For almost a century Optimist Clubs have seen to the betterment of children and their communities. Through the volunteer efforts of millions of people, the world in which they live is made a better place. Optimists leave a legacy of caring, sharing, leadership and love. Optimist communities in the Canada, and the United States sponsor a wide range of activities. From one of the world’s finest youth golf tournaments (Optimist International Junior Golf Championships) to trying to find a cure for childhood cancer through the Childhood Cancer Campaign to conducting oratorical and essay contests for young people — Optimists respond to the special needs of their local and global communities. Optimist Clubs conduct positive service projects aimed at providing a helping hand to youth. Club members are best known in their communities for their upbeat attitudes. By believing in young people and empowering them to be the best they can, Optimist volunteers continually make this world a better place to live. There are 114,000 individual members who belong to 3,500 autonomous Clubs. Optimists conduct 65,000 service projects each year, serving six million young people. Optimists also spend $78 million on their communities annually.

Many have found inspiration in the Optimist Creed. In hospitals, the creed has been used to help patients recover from illness. In locker rooms, coaches have used it to motivate their players.
Optimist International adopted this creed in 1922. It was originally published in 1912 in a book titled "Your Forces and How to Use Them." The author was Christian D. Larson, a prolific writer and lecturer who believed that people have tremendous latent powers, which could be harnessed for success with the proper attitude.
For more than 75 years, Optimists have reaped the benefits of Optimism. you will find that by giving something to your community through an Optimist Club, you will receive great rewards in return.
