What We
Do
The Optimist club motto, "Friend of Youth", states our purpose.
However, we proudly refer to ourselves as "being in the kid
business". From sponsoring fishing contests to conducting oratorical
contests, Optimist Club members are responding to the special needs of Bloomington and nearby communities.
Our Positive Approach
Our upbeat outlook, and our
commitment to creating a more optimistic future for kids is what
differentiates Optimist Clubs from any other volunteer opportunity.
Communities in the United States, Canada, the nations of the Caribbean and other countries throughout the world have been
touched by the powerful, positive force of Optimist Club members.
Optimist Club Members
Receive As Much As They Give
The fellowship of people who get
things done...and the example they set for embracing a similar optimistic
mindset.
New social and working relationships with
individuals from a cross section of our communities,
The opportunity to develop and demonstrate
leadership skills locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally,
And, the satisfaction of making a
difference in the lives of children as well as our communities
Everyone is Welcome
The Bloomington
Breakfast Optimist Club welcomes men and woman from all walks of life, all
nationalities, and all religious affiliations. There are no secret
handshakes, passwords, or initiation rites. If you have a willingness to
serve our community, we welcome your fellowship and commitment to serve.
Costs
Members pay annual
dues of $85.00. This amount includes dues for the Bloomington Breakfast Optimist
Club as well as for Optimist International, our parent organization. More
important than money, members give a reasonable amount of time to support the
youth of our community through club activities.
Joining the Bloomington Breakfast Optimist Club is a great
way to meet other people that share an interest in our community.
