Dear Optimist Club Presidents,
I hope that your club is having an extraordinary year spreading optimism throughout your community! The very best part of my job as President is witnessing, whether it is virtually or in person, Optimists bringing out the best in their youth and community. Often the most stirring of all is when Optimists bring out the best in themselves and one another. This is what lies at the heart of being an Optimist, spreading hope, kindness and love to our fellow Optimists, our youth and our community.

Welcome Optimists Worldwide (W.O.W.): Now is a great time to hold a member recruitment event for your club. A Traditional “New Optimists Welcome” event is a great way to introduce friends and family to Optimism. However, planning an event that fits your club and community will bring best results for your club. Perhaps a virtual event, a social or add a recruitment component to one of your great club activities! Download the WOW Guide on this page for lots of great ideas: https://www.optimist.org/member/membership4.cfm
