Optimist Clubs participate in community service programs that are dedicated to bringing out the best in kids. Since each Club is autonomous and run by members in their community, Optimists have the unique flexibility to serve the youth of their area in any way they see fit.
What do we do?
We traditionally give two seniors from Burges High School a college scholarship.
We support the children of Cielo Vista Elementary and Benito Martinez Elementary.
WHERE DO WE MEET?
We meet every Tuesday night at 6:30 pm LasFuentes restaurant (McRae and Album).
who can you join?
YOU! Just come and join us for dinner, enjoy our weekly programs and take a look at what projects you would like to volunteer to help with.

The Optimist Creed
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 press 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.
