By providing hope and positive vision, Optimists bring out the best in kids. What is an Optimist Club? The Optimist Club motto is "Friend of Youth”.

An Optimist Club is a group of concerned citizens joining together to help the youth in their community. Working directly with young people in their community, Optimist Club
members organize and conduct many types of events and programs for youth. Each Optimist Club tailors its service
activities to meet the needs of its community. Often, an Optimist Club will respond to a special local need... by providing
relief to disaster victims, or by building athletic fields, or by sponsoring youth bands or choral groups... anything is possible
to an Optimist Club member! Funding for an Optimist Club's projects is generated from within that club's community,
and the funds generated tend to stay there... Where they can do the most good.

“Her dedication to the community and those who surround her is admirable.”

Bobbi Gellise, long standing member of the Bay City Noon Optimist Club was awarded Michigan District OPTIMIST OF THE YEAR at the Optimist International Michigan District meeting earlier this month. Members of the Michigan District who demonstrate a mindset of service as a way of life were nominated for consideration of the award.

And, of course we believe that the committee of the Michigan District chose the perfect recipient.

Congratulations Bobbi!
