What does it cost for a child to participate? While donations are always needed and appreciated
to supplement our fundraisers, neither a child nor their family is ever
charged a fee to participate in any Optimist Club of Rolla Missouri Program. |

The
purposes Of Optimist clubs are: to develop Optimism as
a philosophy of life; to promote an active interest in good government
and civic affairs; to inspire respect for law; to promote patriotism and work
for international accord and friendship among all people; to aid and
encourage the development of youth, in the belief that giving one’s self in
service to others will advance the well-being of man, his community and
world.. This is accomplished through a series of community projects,
fundraisers, and youth programs. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Optimist Clubs are dedicated
to "Bringing Out the Best in Kids" and do their part
through community service programs. Since each Club is autonomous and run by
members in their community, Optimists have the unique flexibility to serve the
youth of their area in any way they see fit. Optimist Clubs see a need in
their community and react to it. |

Who We Are? The
Optimist Club is a voluntary organization of civic-minded men and women banded
together for progressive thought and action in community service. Membership,
which is by invitation only, is composed of citizens drawn from business,
industry, agriculture, and other professions. Members are motivated by the
desire to contribute to our community from which they and their families draw
daily benefits. There is no greater opportunity for participation in
community affairs than in our Optimist Club. |
