Fellow Optimists,

Come! Create new exciting memories that you will be able to hold on to for a lifetime.

Come! You’re a good optimist but even you can admit that you could be better.  Come and be inspired.

Come to convention because the more you know, the more you can do for our youth and yourself.

Come! Witness the first steps taken by the  2014/15 STEP BY STEP Team.

Come! You know you want to!
