Dear Optimist Member,

By now, you may have heard about Hello by Grouper — the online community included with your Optimist International membership. Inside Hello by Grouper, you’ll find a variety of ways to stay engaged, including classes, wellness tools, and a broader community of members across different organizations, all focused on staying active, connected, and sharp.

One of the best ways to get value from Hello isn’t by doing everything at once — it’s by making it part of your routine in small, simple ways.

Here’s what that can look like:

• Start your week with a short class: Something like mobility, balance, or light strength to get moving.
• Check in midweek: Explore the community, see what others are sharing, or join a discussion.
• Try something new over the weekend: Whether it’s a wellness session, a brain game, or a new topic that catches your interest.

There’s no right way to participate. Some members join regularly, others drop in when it fits their schedule — both are great. What matters most is finding a rhythm that works for you.

If you haven’t explored yet, now is a great time to get started: join.hellogrouper.com/optimist

We hope to see you inside!

The Optimist International Team
