"A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination and instill a love of learning."
- Brad Henry

Our 30 & Under for $30 program has been an extremely successful tool for Clubs to recruit young Members. Based upon this successful outreach, we are pleased to announce a new Club incentive --  starting immediately -- for a special group of individuals that are deeply committed to improving the lives of children - Teachers!
 
Adding a new teacher to your Club will:
  • Strengthen your Club's connection with local schools.
  • Open doors for programs such as the Optimist oratorical and essay contests, sports leagues and safety programs.
  • Provide the foundation for a new Junior Optimist Club.
  • Attract and build strong allies in the field of education.
  • Allow your Club to serve more children!
  As students return to the classroom for a new school year, this is the perfect time to invite their teachers-who already share our dedication to improving the lives of children-into our local Optimist Clubs.  Under this special incentive, which ends on September 30, Optimist Clubs can recruit as many teachers as they desire, and the first year annual dues paid to Optimist International for each teacher will be only $30. 

Let the Teaching of Optimism Begin-Right Here, Right Now!   
 
This incentive is effective immediately.  Clubs may add new teachers online, or contact Barbara Zurcher  directly.  Please include the new Member's information as it will take some time to establish the new online process for this special promotion. 
Yours in Optimism,
Dave Bruns
2015-16 Optimist International President
p.s. Your Club will also benefit and reach more children by taking advantage of Friend of Optimists memberships, Community Impact Bundles and the 30 & Under for $30 program.
