A bright future for our youth

The Vista Optimist Club in Vista, California makes no secret about their mission; they are securing a bright future for our youth.  In order to secure a bright future for our youth we the Optimist Club of Vista promote youth activities which develop:

• Strong Minds - The Vista Optimist Club encourages strong academics and funds an annual $7,500 scholarship.  They have a perpetual endowment fund that grows each year from successful fundraising efforts.
• Strong Bodies - The Vista Optimist Club offers Little League baseball and manages the Vista Optimist Field of Dreams baseball fields and stadium.
• Strong Character -  The Vista Optimist Club teaches teamwork, discipline and perseverence through organized sports programs and they inspire communication skills through the oratorical contest.  These experiences help students develop integrity.

One thing that is unique about the Vista Optimist Club is their fundraising efforts.  First, they own and manage the beautiful Vista Optimist Clubhouse facility (photo) that is suitable for elegant weddings.  And second, they  host an Annual Wine Festival that encourages visitors to sample local wineries and restaurants. 

By engaging with the local community and providing a marketable service, the Vista Optimist Club succeeds in their mission.
