About Membership The Noon Optimist Club of Niles is always looking for men and women with a positive outlook on life and who want to make a difference in the lives of the youth of our community. If this describes you, please join us for lunch upstairs at the Riverfront Cafe, 219 N. Front Street in Niles on almost any Tuesday at 12:00 noon. Occasionally we will not meet on a particular Tuesday, but this will be noted in our Calendar of Activities. Membership is by invitation only, and each new member requires the sponsorship of one or more existing members of the Club. Our members form a diverse cross-section of the community, so there is a good chance that you already know a few of us. The following explains the process of becoming a member of the Noon Optimist Club of Niles. Application: You will be asked to complete a membership application which must be accompanied by a $25.00 application fee.
