The Howard Suamico Optimist Club was chartered in 1973. It has been a major influence in the development of the Howard Suamico community.
The Optimists have a positive approach, with an upbeat outlook, their commitment to creating a more optimistic future for our kids is what differentiates the Optimist Club from any other volunteer opportunity.
Past programs and fundraisers include the Howard-Suamico Christmas Parade, Pancake Breakfast, Special Olympics, Brat Fry, Memorial Parade, Golden Ager’s, The Giving Tree, Reach a Child, Make-A-Wish, and Foundation Golf Outing to name a few. They work directly with local schools to enhance education.
