Welcome to the

Middleton Optimists

What differentiates Optimist Clubs from any other volunteer opportunity is simple - Optimism. Optimists take their upbeat approach and work every day to make a difference for themselves and for the people around them. Optimists are people who believe that through positive action in their communities they can create a better tomorrow.

The Middleton Optimist Club is dedicated to serving the youth of Middleton and the surrounding area. Our many programs not only assist local youth but also give our members a great sense of accomplishment.

Become a Member

Members of the Middleton Optimist Club are adults who are persons of good character from the business, social, and cultural life of the community.

Members are encouraged to actively participate in meetings, sponsored events and fundraising events, but we understand the commitments of a busy life. For that reason, the Middleton Optimist Club waives the dues of members who volunteer for two shifts annually.

Optimist Programs and Support

What are the advantages of membership? Membership provides valuable networking opportunities and opens lines of communication with many business people. The Middleton Optimist Club provides the opportunity to meet professional men and women who work and live in the community.

With membership, you will enjoy the fun and fellowship of others who share a common vision to make a difference in the lives of our youth. In addition to working with young people in our community, members have the opportunity to develop important leadership skills. You may choose to hold a club office or serve as a chair of a club project. If your interest is in the fellowship and leadership beyond our immediate club, members may participate in both district and Optimist International meetings. These meetings offer a variety of courses in leadership training.

Our club pays the Optimist International dues for each member. Members can choose to support the club by paying annual dues of $100.00. However, the Middleton Optimist Club will waive the dues of any member during their first year. (Our calendar year runs with the fiscal calendar of Oct. 1 through September 30). After the first year, the Middleton Optimists will waive the dues of any member who fulfills two volunteer shifts annually.
