projects aimed at providing a helping hand to youth. Club

attitudes. By believing in young people and empowering them
to be the best they can, Optimist volunteers continually make
this world a better place to live. There are over 64,000
individual Members who belong to almost 2,300 autonomous

serving six million young people. Optimists also spend $78
million on their communities annually.

PROMISE YOURSELF …
❖ To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace
of mind.
❖ To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every
person you meet.
❖ To make all your friends feel that there is something
in them.
❖ To look at the sunny side of everything and make
your optimism come true.
❖ To think only of the best, to work only for the best,
and to expect only the best.
❖ To be just as enthusiastic about the success of
others as you are about your own.
❖ To forget the mistakes of the past and Presidents on
to the greater achievements of the future.
❖ To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and
give every living creature you meet a smile.
❖ To give so much time to the improvement of
yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
❖ To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too
strong for fear and too happy to permit the presence
of trouble.
