Congratulations to the Tucson Optimist Club on their 
70 th Anniversary!
The Tucson Optimist Club recently celebrated their 70th Anniversary of being chartered as an Optimist club.  The club held a gala evening event that included a dinner, a silent auction to benefit some local youth projects supported by the club, dancing, and greetings and a certificate presented to club President Brian Goldstein by District Governor Dean Gibboney.  Members, other Optimists, and guests attended the special occasion held at the Savoy Opera House in Tucson's Trail Dust Town.  Everyone was encouraged to dress "Western" for the occasion.

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 of 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, 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.
