Optimist Club of Stratford is a group of volunteers in action for the youth in our community. To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.

The Optimist Creed

Promise Yourself

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. 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.

Proud to support Stratford youth sports! 🥎✨
For decades, the Optimist Club of Stratford has cheered on our local ball players. Recently, the Stratford Minor Girls Softball Association (SMGSA) honored our commitment with a brand-new appreciation sign at Anne Hathaway Diamond #1—home of the Stratford Flames! 🔥
We were thrilled to celebrate the unveiling alongside SMGSA President Cheryl Fountain. Thank you to the SMGSA and the Flames community for this wonderful recognition.
