Optimist International President Mark Weinsoff has asked the organization and its members to be more positive and more optimistic. He says, "We're on a mission to convert Optimist International from a service club organization to an optimistic organization that focuses on service to youth."
His method is to share the teachings of Martin Seligman and others who study and promote positive psychology. President Mark says that doing the following will make you and your Optimist Club a more inviting club, bring more fellowship to the group, and leave the individual feeling better state of well-being because of optimism:
Optimism – Hope and positive vision
Purpose – A cause to support
Engagement – A meaningful way to
participate
Relationships – Interaction with
positive minded people
Accomplishment – Satisfaction of
making a difference
