Optimist Clubs around the world are encouraged to celebrate the first annual Optimist Earth Day on June 7, 2008, in connection with World Environmental Awareness Week. What better way is there to show our support for our youth than taking care of the world around them?

"Green" projects can be as simple as planting a tree, recycling paper, or forming a carpool.  You'll really get noticed when you invite others to join in your cause.  You can customize this flyer to help announce your Optimist Earth Day Activity.  And please, leave a comment here to let us know what you have planned.  (Caution: flyer has a great picture, so it's slow to download!  Sorry.)

Optimist International Field Representative Buzz Buswell has sent a message to newoptimistclub.com about the newest addition to the Tennessee District.  The Karns Hardin Valley Optimist Club was organized on April 10 and ten days later they are moving forward with an Earth Day project, a job fair for high school students, forming committees, and embarking on networking plans including their Charter Banquet.  The Idaho Valley looks forward to hearing more about the progess in the Tennessee Valley!  Welcome to Optimism!

Adele and Bob Heinrich are excited to announce the North Kitsap County Optimist Club has organized in Poulsbo, Washington with 28 members.  Welcome to our newest New Optimist Club!

Optimism will come to Kuna, Idaho with the first informational meeting set for Tuesday, January 9, 6:30PM at the Library, 847 E Locust Street.  According to the chamber of commerce, an Optimist Club is a great addition for the community.  "Optimist Clubs attract volunteers needed  to help a community grow in a positive, upbeat direction," commented chamber executive Linda Jackson.
