The Optimist Club of Meridian, Mississippi has this on the home page of their blog:
Downtown Optimist Club members are active members of the local community and we are always on the look-out for new ways we can assist youth in whatever they are trying to achieve.And that is what makes an Optimist Club different from other service clubs. Optimist Clubs look for local causes and they get involved. They donate money to local children and initiatives that impact their community with an emphasis on helping youth achieve more.
This is a fairly simple post this morning with straightforward message: now is the time to get involved with your local Optimist Club. If there isn't an Optimist Club in your community, let us help you get one started. Your community needs you, your friends, relatives and neighbors to be engaged and committed to service in the belief that giving of yourself will enhance your local community, humankind and the world.
