Dear Optimist,


We’re excited to share a sneak peek of something new coming to the Optimist community. Before our full launch in January, we’re offering members early access to Hello by Grouper* — a national healthy-living platform designed to help you stay active, engaged, and inspired.


This early-access period gives you a first look at our new Optimist online clubhouse inside Hello by Grouper. We’ll be using this space to stay connected between events, share updates, motivate and support one another, and continue building a strong, healthy, thriving Optimist community.


And because Hello by Grouper brings many associations together, you’ll also be able to explore new interests and connect with a wider world of supportive peers — all included with your Optimist membership at no additional cost.**


By joining Hello by Grouper, you’re investing in your own wellness and the overall well-being of our Optimist community, with access to:


  • Your Optimist space: Connect with fellow members, share what makes our organization shine, and stay up-to-date with club-related discussions and news.


  • Hundreds of live and on-demand classes and experiences: From fitness and strength & balance to arts & crafts and daily puzzles, Hello by Grouper offers endless opportunities to stay healthy and engaged.


  • Communities that inspire and uplift: Connect with like-minded people — from walkers and gardeners to crafters, music lovers, and lifelong learners — who’ll motivate you to build healthy habits.


  • Inspiring content and events: Book clubs, webinars, monthly challenges, and talks on healthy aging — all designed to spark joy and boost well-being.

Strong communities grow when we stay connected — and we’re thrilled to give you a first look at this new resource.


Join us! Getting started is simple — just follow the steps to sign up and explore.
