We hear about trendsetters and more recently, influencers but Optimists has their own special people known as Pacesetter. What is a Pacesetter? Well, a Pacesetter is the Governor of a District that is Net + 15 in membership by June 30^th and has chartered two or more new adult Clubs by June 30^th. These Governors will be recognized at the Atlanta Convention for their District’s hard work!

To help offset the cost to produce the hybrid convention, consider contributing an addition $25.00 by adding the gold registration! Revisit your registration or contact convention@optimist.org if you would like to add it to your existing registration.

I believe each of us were put on this earth for a purpose. No matter who we are or where we come from, we each have a calling, something we are supposed to do while we live on this good earth – to be who we were born to be. A great many of us go through our lives distracted by how we do something or achieve our life’s goals never realizing our purpose or “why” in life. Becoming a member of Optimist International and getting involved in its mission can go a long way in helping you identify your calling or purpose. click to read more...

Reminder: Optimist Club election time!  

The Optimist clubs across Canada have been facing fundraising challenges during the Covid-19 pandemic. This has not deterred the resilience, optimism and desire of many Optimist clubs and members to continue to help their communities. We can take inspiration from some recent initiatives such as the Optimist Club of Regina ‘s cookbook. Sharing much-loved family recipes for a good cause is a sure comfort food remedy in a time where it is difficult to go to a restaurant or even buy take-out food. The Optimist Club of Clinton put together several ‘Family/kids kits’ and sold them for their fundraiser. They offered 3 types of kits including a Kid’s Outdoor Fun Kit; a Fire Pit Kit; and a Family Games Night Kit. Guaranteed fun for a good cause!
