2020 Game Dinner Canceled
Announcement
It is with great sadness that the 42nd Charlotte Optimist Game Dinner is canceled due to the current events and executive orders. It was a difficult decision but without knowing what will happen in the next couple of months and all the pre-planning that it takes to put the banquet on, this was the best course of action.
2020 - BIG RAFFLE!
10 Big Prizes will be won! Something for everyone including guns, a trip, kayaks, and much more! Ticket cost is $10 and all proceeds benefit youth activities and the John W. Duris scholarships. Watch the drawing LIVE on Facebook, December 10, 2020 at 8pm. Raffle tickets will go on sale to the public in October from any Optimist member.
2020 Nut Sale begins in mid-October and ends on Saturday, December 19, 2020. Great Holiday gifts and easy shopping for you plus it helps fund out club’s youth activities. Early shoppers can call to place orders at (517) 507-6595. Watch for more details.
Thank You for your support in the past and now we need it more than ever because our Wild Game Dinner was our main fundraiser.
Your Donation in any amount will support the youth of our community through the John W. Duris Scholarship, Optimist Youth Park, Teacher of the Year, Charlotte Pride, Charlotte Community Library, Eaton Clothing and Furniture, Crosswalk Teen Center, Guardian Angels Suitcases 4 Kids and the Optimist Youth activities in Charlotte, Potterville & Maple Valley communities. 100% of your donation goes to our youth.

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.
