Barge Canal Optimist Club of Lockport NY

A very active, all-female service club established in 1990 working to "Bring out the Best in Kids"! Bettering our community through volunteering. Join us!

The purpose of the Barge Canal Optimist Club of Lockport, NY is to develop Optimism as a philosophy of life utilizing the tenets of the Optimist Creed; to promote an active interest in good government and civic affairs; to inspire respect for law; to promote patriotism and work for international accord and friendship among all people; to aid and encourage the development of youth in the belief that the giving of one’s self in service to others will advance the well-being of humankind, community life and the world. Our positive approach, our upbeat outlook, and our commitment to creating a more optimistic future for kids is what differentiates Optimist Clubs from any other volunteer organization. Although we come from all walks of life, Optimist Club Members share one common trait. We know that we can make a difference in the lives of others. Optimist Club Members receive as much as they give:

• The fellowship of people who get things done—and the example they set for embracing a similar optimistic mindset
• New social and working relationships within our community
• The opportunity to develop and demonstrate leadership skills locally, regionally,
nationally, and internationally
• The satisfaction of making a difference in lives of children as well as our communities

Our members find an outlet to help the community, personal development, or rewarding camaraderie through their membership in the Barge Canal Optimist Club
