May is Optimists in Action Month
Optimists have always believed in making a difference—a difference to children, to citizens in need, to fellow Optimists, to themselves. Optimists also believe that the best way to make a difference is through action—positive action. As a result, the month of May has been declared Optimists in Action Month. During the month of May, Optimist Clubs will create a widespread spirit of unity bringing together Optimist Members and other community volunteers for a variety of local-based activities, fundraisers and special events. During Optimists in Action Month, Optimist volunteers and fellow citizens from all over the world will come together as one to create meaningful and powerful Club programs that bring out THE BEST in kids, their communities and themselves. Start now to plan ahead for your Club’s Optimists in Action Month efforts!
