What the Optimist Club does: The North Perimeter Optimist Club is part of

the Georgia District Optimist which is a part of International Optimist

which is headquartered in St.Louis, MO. Optimist International was founded

in 1913 in Buffalo, NY and there are approximately 4500 clubs throughout the

U.S. and Canada. The purpose of the club is to help young people, and the

Optimist Club's motto is, "Friend of Youth". We sponsor oratorical contests

and essay contests in the schools each year, our club has an annual

Christmas party for underprivileged children, we raise money at our annual

golf tournament which is donated to different community needs for children

in and around Sandy Springs. Our club was chartered in 1986. All the

members try to live by the Optimist Creed, which you will hear when you come

to the meeting.

Our meetings are weekly at the Post Exchange and start at 7:30 and end at
