Meetings, meetings and more meetings! Some people say they have too many and that showing up for an Optimist Club meeting is out of the question. Personally, I attend at least one Optimist Club meeting a week because I enjoy the opportunity to come together with friends and colleagues who share similar goals. We recite the Optimist Creed, hear from local organizations and initiatives and make plans for how we will serve the community. Yes, I think meetings are important.
I am happy to report that in my travels and research, I have discovered that most Optimist Clubs share my belief and members make time to be present at weekly meetings. Here's a picture submitted by the Quad City Morning Optimist Club of Iowa. They enjoyed a full house recently for a presentation from Camp Courageous. Camp Courageous is a year-round respite and recreational facility for individuals with disabilities. The Quad City Morning Optimist Club is a supporter.
