For the most part, this is a fairly seamless process. Optimist Club members are probably not giving much thought to the district and international structure that exists outside of their local communities. That's because Optimist Club members are most interested in what they do every day to make their personal communities a better place to live.
Simply stated, Optimist Clubs use an international structure to accomplish local results. There is unity and strength in the fact that 2,500 Optimist Clubs work on similar projects at different times during the year. But for me and many others, it is more important that every Optimist Club member is sharing their optimism with others every day.
By coming together as an Optimist Club, members share the Optimist Creed and dozens of positive projects, among other things, with each other. Then they take their positive attitudes and share it with others at work and home and other places that they may travel every day. Their optimism gives hope to all.
Your community needs you to provide that hope. You can share your optimism by joining an Optimist Club today. Already a member? Don't keep the positive vibes all to yourself. Ask others to join and be a positive force for good right along with you.
