Who We Are:

Downtown Optimist Club members are active members of the local community and we are always on the look-out for new ways we can assist youth in whatever they are trying to achieve.

We are part of Optimist International, which is an association of more than 3,000 Optimist Clubs around the world dedicated to "Bringing Out The Best In Kids."
