Talk health, happiness and prosperity

I stumbled upon a community website for Salem, Oregon where groups and organizations were asked to write about their clubs goals and purpose.  The Optimist Club of Salem, Oregon wrote that their goal was to  talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.

Optimist Club members know that is the second line of our Optimist Creed.  We say it every time we meet, but has anyone ever simplified the mission of their club into one line? Think of how remarkable your club meetings would be if talking health, happiness and prosperity was your purpose for meeting.  Think about the positive actions you would have in your community if this was your purpose for serving.

Optimist Clubs take on many wonderful projects. My tip for today is to be sure you always act with the Optimist Creed in mind.
