By providing hope and positive vision, Optimists bring out the best in kids. Adult volunteers join Optimist Clubs to conduct positive service projects in their communities aimed at providing a helping hand to youth. With their upbeat attitude, Optimist Club members help empower young people to be the best that they can be. Every year, Optimists around the world conduct 65,000 service projects and serve well over six million young people.
As Members of Optimist Clubs, individuals have the opportunity to "Bring Out the Best in Kids" along with other like-minded citizens. Through an Optimist Club, volunteers can answer the needs of local youth by organizing meaningful service projects.
Governor's Message
Hello, TexHoma Optimists!
I’m Tasha Todd Sheehan from Glen Rose, Texas, your 2026-27 TexHoma District Governor. I’m an educator, educational consultant, community leader, and passionate advocate for helping young people discover their potential and prepare for successful futures.
Optimist International is a very important part of my life. As a proud member of the Glen Rose Optimist Club, I have served as club president since 2021. I have held district leadership roles as Lieutenant Governor and Governor-Elect. I’m also actively involved in my community through the Chamber of Commerce, the high school choir booster club, Lions organizations, scholarship foundations, and other community initiatives.
At the heart of everything I do is a simple belief: every young person deserves someone who believes in them and an opportunity to discover what they are destined to be.
I’m excited for the opportunity to lead the TexHoma District and look forward to the challenges, but most importantly, to serve WITH you!
Lets plant some Seeds of Optimism and Grow Some Fields of Change this year!
