Welcome to our 40th Anniversary page!
As the year progresses, we will be adding more content here. Plans are for a celebration this fall and details will be posted here.
Optimists bring out the best in youth, our communities, and ourselves. We raise funds for numerous community, child and youth projects and run many greatly anticipated events throughout the year. Our club celebrates our 40th anniversary in March 2023 - an incredible accomplishment and a testament to the strong commitment our members have to our mission. Please be sure to explore our website to learn about the many ways we've made this community a better, safer, healthier and just plain more fun place for everyone!
Way back in 1983 we had our start. That's right, we're talking mullets, short shorts, shoulder pads, big hair but most importantly - big plans and BIG OPTIMISM! We have members who were there at the beginning and they are still active four decades later. We also have not one but two Optimist International Presidents in our membership - father and daughter Optimists Ron and Tracy Huxley.
