By providing hope and positive vision, as Optimist Club members, we strive to bring out the best in kids. We meet weekly to learn about organizations, programs and events happening in our community. We also hold our own events throughout the year, including the Quincy Derby and Super Kids races, to highlight the outstanding abilities of kids in our communities. Our members are also stepping up to volunteer when help is needed.
As members of the Optimist Club, we are "Friends of Youth". We work to make our community better for children by providing funds for youth activities. We also highlight the achievements of kids of all ages who are making a difference.
