North Raleigh Optimist Club

This proves my theory that the people I hear talking about how great it is to live in the south and avoid winter, or how convenient everything is to the beltway are all secretly in league with each other.

I suspect that there’s supposed to be a joke here that I’m missing, probably based on the usage of the word “optimist”.
However, Optimists International is a fairly large organization, with lots of “clubs”: http://www.optimist.org/
So, the joke kinda relies on the reader not knowing that. Sorry to ruin it for you.

Yeah, I saw that they were affiliated w/ the local Boys&Girls Club, but my first image was a group of people meeting up to talk about how great everything is, and how happy they are! So I thought I’d share. Perhaps it worked better in my head.

No, Meg, that’s what came to my mind too, an optimists’ society like the Masons!
