Dear   :

Did you know that there is a special incentive for all Optimists who recruit three new Members or who build a new Optimist Club?  From October 1, 2015, to September 30, 2016, the  Bringing Out the Best in Ourselves  award recognizes all Optimist Members who sponsor at least three new Members into an Adult or College Club.  This incentive is open to all Club Members and all award winners will receive a limited-edition "Bringing Out the Best" pin.  Also, any Optimist who is a primary builder of a New Optimist Club will be designated a  Builder of Excellence (BOE).  All Builders of Excellence will receive the same limited-edition pin. 
 
Plus, all Bringing Out the Best in Ourselves award recipients will be entered into a drawing for either an expenses-paid trip to PGA National Resort & Spa in November 2016 or a $750 Club Community Grant!
