Dear Optimist Member,
Over the past few weeks, many members got a sneak peek at something new for our Optimist community. Now, as we begin the New Year, we’re excited to officially welcome all members and to thank the hundreds of your fellow Optimist International members who have already joined Hello by Grouper* and started exploring.
Hello by Grouper is our new online clubhouse - a national healthy-living platform designed to help members boost their well-being by staying active, engaged, and inspired. It’s a place where we can stay connected between events, spark conversations, take instructor-led fitness and arts & crafts classes, and keep 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 (currently available to U.S.-based members only***), 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.
The new year is a great time to try something new, reconnect, and focus on feeling your best and building healthy habits. If you haven’t joined yet, we invite you to take a look and see what fellow members are already enjoying.
