Our true fans are on the bus

"Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you." ~ Oprah Winfrey


The dream of every nonprofit is to be recognized by Oprah Winfrey on the Oprah Winfrey Show.  She reaches such a broad audience and her endorsement is gold.  People listen. 

However, not everyone can be on Oprah; or to use her own words, not everyone can ride in the limo.  We need to be happy  to be on the bus and thankful for those who are taking the ride with us for they are the people who will help us achieve our immediate goals.  They are our true fans.

I have watched as the Optimist International Facebook page has grown.  After one month, more than 600 people have joined to learn more and share stories.  We are on the bus together.  With such true fans, I know we are on the road to progress.  Together we will share our positive vision and bring out the best in children.

Be a fan of Optimist International on Facebook.
