Brighton Optimist Club

Welcome

Optimist Clubs are chartered to serve the youth of their communities. Sometimes that can be a pretty large area. Most Clubs participate in Optimist International's signature programs like the Oratorical Contest, which provides young people the opportunity to develop their public speaking skills and a chance to win college scholarships; the new Internet Safety Program, designed to inform both young people and their parents of potential online dangers and offering safe practice tips while online; and the Childhood Cancer Campaign, created in 2001 to be "the leading force to rid the world of childhood cancer". Clubs also conduct their own local service programs.

Please contact the Brighton Optimist Club at info@BrightonOptimist.org.

News

March 14, 2003 Meeting at Grand River Grill:Photo courtesy of Bob SmithThe Brighton Optimists had two representatives from Howell High School's We The People Constitutional Debate team as speakers on March 14, 2013.  For the first time, Howell HS won the State Finals and the 29 member team is off to Washington, D.C. in late April to represent Michigan.  They are trying to raise $50,000 to cover expenses for this trip and the Brighton Optimists donated $1,000 to the cause.  One of our members also donated an additional $175 to Howell HS's team.  Good luck!  Pictured are team members Heather and Aaron, with Club Treasurer Mike Aubert.
