Community Projects

Big Red Bookshelf!

The Club is the caretaker of the Big Red Bookshelf located in the St. Luke's Pediatric Clinic.  We're always looking for donated new or gently used children's books to keep the shelves stocked.  Thank you Dana!

Children's Cancer Campaign!

The Club's CCC Coin Bank is currently located at the Miller-Dwan cafeteria.  Thank you Greta!

Magazine Drive for the Valley Youth Center!

Keep saving your magazines, catalogs and other "shiny" paper items indefinitely for recycling to help the VYC pay for their new-used passenger van!  Bring them to a meeting, or to arrange for pickup of larger quantities, call the VYC at (218) 628-4897 or contact us.

Second Harvest Northern Lakes Food Bank - Feeding America!

We pack and distribute food every month at the Food Bank's warehouse - 4503 Airpark Blvd - on behalf of the MAC and NAPS nutrition programs.  We also distribute food on the first Thursday of every month - noon to 1pm - from the Lincoln Park Center, 2018 W. 3rd St.  If you'd like to help or would like more information on these programs, please contact us!

Meetings, Programs & Speakers

The Duluth Noon Optimist Club meets year-round, Tuesdays, noon to 1pm, at the Incline Station, 601 W. Superior St. in Duluth.  Free parking is available in the north lot.  Pay us a visit - lunch is on us - and enjoy the program!  Need directions: Map.

We need speakers!

We strive to offer a speaker or program of community interest at least several times each month at our weekly meetings.  If you would like to speak to our group, are aware of someone that would or have a topic of interest to suggest, we'd love to hear from you!  Please call (218) 724-3941, or contact us here.
