What Should I Expect?
Every Optimist Club is formed by people who wanted to reach out to help youth and community. People like you and me. Members of an Optimist Club usually live or work in the community. Members have joined together to serve others and promote Optimismas a way of life.
Each Optimist Club is chartered as a member of Optimist International. This gives the Club the right to use the Optimist name and provides services and programs offere 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 sevices activities are based on the needs of the community. What a Club can do is limited only by imagination and resources of the Members.
