The Tamarac Club is comprised of nearly 80 women who have joined and participate for many reasons - for the rewards of helping youth in our community, for the enrichment of our weekly speakers and meetings, and/or for the friendship of other caring women.

Our Mission:
"By providing hope and positive vision,
Optimists bring out the best in kids."

 THE OPTIMIST CREED:

Promise yourself -
  • To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
  • To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.
  • 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.
