Optimist Clubs are well known for sharing the Optimist Creed. Whenever a group of Optimist Club members gather, they recite the Optimist Creed and promise to live a positive life.
My original club also sang a song, "Hail to Optimism." I was pleasantly surprised when I found the words to the song on the January 1 edition of the Austin, Texas Optimist Club newsletter The Optinote.
Be thankful that I"m not singing this to you; I hope that you enjoy the uplifting words of the retro Optimist Club song "Hail to Optimism":
HAIL Optimism
Inspiration blessed;
SPREAD the joy and gladness
Over all the rest;
RALLY round our standards,
It shall sure prevail;
OPTIMISM on forever,
HAIL! HAIL! HAIL!
