Tennessee Optimist Clubs
The Optimist Clubs of the Tennessee District work to aid and encourage the development of youth in their communities.
Ongoing activities include mentoring programs, sport
programs, and Youth
Clubs. A wide variety of annual programs, projects and activities, including three state scholarship programs give young people an
opportunity to learn and develop in a positive environment.

The Optimist
International Foundation helps fund our various scholarship programs,
JOOI programs and other OI programs. Help support the foundation by giving a
Dime-A-Day. This comes out to only $36.50 a year.
Donations to the foundation are tax-deductible.

Optimist Mission Statement
By Providing Hope and Positive Vision, Optimists Bring Out
the Best in Kids.
| The Optimist Creed |
- To be so strong that nothing can
disturb your peace of mind.
- To talk health, happiness and prosperity
to every person you meet.
- To make all your friends feel that
there is something in them.
- To look at the sunny side of everything
and make your optimism come true.
- To think only of the best, to work
only for the best and to expect only the best.
- To be just as enthusiastic about
the success of others as you are about your own.
- To forget the mistakes of the past
and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
- To wear a cheerful countenance at
all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.
- To give so much time to the improvement
of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
- To be too large for worry, too noble
for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence
of trouble.
