Optimist Clubs are dedicated to "Bringing Out the Best in Kids, in their Communities, and in Themselves" 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.
For over 40 years the Weddington Optimist Club has increased and maintained a membership of currently about 25-30. But with today's busier-than-ever schedules, and people moving around, we're always in need of new members who would like to step in and give us a hand.
For information on joining - attending a meeting - or helping with an event, please contact us online.
