🌍 International Convention Highlights
The Optimist International Convention in St. Louis was nothing short of extraordinary. Over three days, Optimists from around the world gathered to celebrate our shared mission and deepen our impact.
From dynamic training sessions and inspiring keynote speakers to meaningful fellowship and the unforgettable President’s Gala, the convention was a powerful reminder of what we can achieve together.
We’re especially proud that 33 Michigan delegates represented our district—a strong, passionate group committed to making a difference in their communities. Every moment in St. Louis was filled with purpose and pride.
Next year, the journey continues in Jacksonville, Florida—we can’t wait to see you there!
📈 Membership Rebate Results: Growth in Action
Let’s take a moment to celebrate some exciting news from our Membership Rebate Incentive!
This past quarter, 47 new members joined our Michigan District—clear proof that Optimism is alive and growing. While only 17 of those new members were submitted for the rebate, those clubs will be receiving over $1,000 back from the district. That’s real money going directly into our communities, supporting programs that serve children and strengthen our clubs. Together, we grow. Together, we give. Together, we serve.
