New Optimist Club Empowers Special Needs Adults Established in Woodstock on February 24, 2022, with 36 members, the Born to Shine Optimist Club is the first club in the GATEway District to be chartered for adults with special needs. Born to Shine empowers special needs adults by serving the community while living by the Optimist Creed, which is “To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.”Since its charter, the Club has made Easter baskets for Goshen Valley foster homes, judged the Hickory Flat Optimist Club’s visual arts contest, handed out water at the Agricultural Expo, and supported special needs friends at Limitless Disability with a 5K team. Most recently, members helped the Canton Rotary pack 2,500 bags of food for MUST Ministries, which serves the children of Cherokee County.For more information about how you can get involved with Born to Shine, please visit their Facebook page (Born to Shine Optimist Club, Cherokee County, GA), email This email address is being protected from spambots.
