The Noontime Optimist Club of Freehold, New Jersey enters its 25th year of service to the children of our communities. By providing hope and positive vision, Optimists “Bring out the Best in Kids”.
We come from all walks of life, supporting our kids and our community. We sponsor scholarships for deserving children, donations to Camp Quality (a summer camp for kids with cancer) and other worthwhile projects in the community to benefit our kids.
There is no special qualification to become an Optimist, just a desire to make a difference, build new relationships and have the opportunity to develop and demonstrate leadership skills.
We are always looking to expand our membership. We meet at Noon on Wednesdays in a variety of local venues. We always have lots of activities… email us at noontimeoptimists@gmail.com for details.
We have asked some of our members what compelled them to become an Optimist Club Member, and the responses were as varied as the backgrounds they came from.
