OUR MISSION
The Bonita Optimist Club is dedicated to helping the youth of our community by "Bringing Out the Best in Kids" by following the tenants of the Optimist Creed. The Bonita Optimist Club is a 115 member strong service organization serving the Bonita Valley, National City, and Chula Vista.
Optimist Creed is a list of the ideas by which Optimists try to live their lives. If these represent the values that you hold, please join us in making our community better. We meet weekly from 7-8am at Bonita-Sunnyside Library Community Room (or Bonita Museum next door for our evening meetings starting at 6pm on the first Thursday of the month).
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.
