First conducted in 1928, this is the second most popular Optimist International Program. Nearly 2,000 clubs participate in this program each year.
The winners at the Club level receive medallions and Zone winners receive a plaque. Districts (Maryland/So.Delaware, for example) have the opportunity to provide two $2,500 scholarships.

Be part of our club's
largest fundraiser!What: The club raises funds when a player contributes $20 to play the game. In short, the $20 lets the player "purchase" a fictitious portfolio of five stocks from a list of selected stocks. The portfolio is worth $10,000 at the start. At the end of one month and at the end of the second month, prizes are awarded for various levels of achievement.
When: The contest will begin in March 1, 2010 and ends April 30, 2010. The postmark for entries is February 27, 2010. Club members start selling entries in late January and previous players will receive a brochure in the mail around the same time.

The monies raised support activities for the
Greater Jacksonville Optimist Club, which include Youth Activities
and Community Activities. See our
