Every event is a recruiting opportunity!

Fall events are the perfect way to recruit new members, so if you're hoping to infuse your Club with fresh energy and enthusiasm, it's a perfect time to plan a New Optimists Welcome dinner.

NOW is a dynamic program designed to attract and engage prospective members through inviting dinners and informative presentations. Showcase your Club's inspiring work, highlight the benefits of membership, and watch your Club flourish.

Hosting a NOW event brings your Club one step closer to Honor Club status for the 2023-2024 year!

Update your Club's Roster

We're currently in the process of producing the next Optimist Magazine, which will be mailed out to members around the world in just a few months.

Every year, nearly 1,000 Optimists don't receive their magazine because we don't have their current mailing address. So, to minimize the cost of returns and to ensure we reach as many people as possible, please update your Club rosters by Aug. 31.

To update your Club roster online, simply follow along with one of these guides from the Optimist Institute:

• Completing a Club Roster Adjustment (CRA) Addition
• Completing a Club Roster Adjustment (CRA) Deletion
• Editing a Member's Information Online
