The MOC owns & maintains the Optimist Cabin & grounds at 22464 N Main in Morton, IL & make them available for community youth group use. 
MOC Member sponsor is now required to reserve & provide access to our facilities to qualify for no fee use.

One of our main fundraising activities is available by donation for private use for parties, meetings,  family reunions, etc.    A note to our previous cabin private use patrons: The furniture updates have reduced our private use seating capacity to 55, but greatly improved comfort & atmosphere!   We allow limited kitchen use & have 4 picnic tables for patio use, & a large outdoor BBQ grill. Our facility is fully heated & air conditioned available year-round. 

Proceeds received from the use of the cabin are a donation to the not-for-profit Morton Opportunity Club (MOC), a 501(3)c public charity, and will be used to carry out its mission of providing programs and services for the youth of Morton, Illinois area.  Our primary areas of local youth financial support are local scout units, youth baseball, softball, soccer, & childhood cancer campaigns.

Our Major Annual Fundraising Event is a Community Charity Golf Outing normally held the 3rd Saturday in May at Pine Lakes G C.  It's the best value Golf Outing in Central Illinois! Please help support our charitable mission.. Contact any MOC Member for more info!

Our Club


The MOC is a voluntary organization of civic-minded citizens banded together for progressive thought and action in community service. Membership is composed of citizens drawn from all walks of life and includes people who work in business, industry, agriculture and the professions. Members are motivated by the desire to contribute to the community from which they and their families draw daily benefits. We are a not-for-profit community service organization that has been active in Morton since being formed by a group of local businessmen in 1931. The club was responsible for founding youth baseball programs in Morton prior to the formation of the Morton Park District, sponsoring local high school sports scholarships, and local Scout units.

Membership, which is by invitation only, is composed of citizens drawn from business, industry, agriculture and the professions. Members are motivated by the desire to contribute to the community from which they and their families draw daily benefits. Our club meets twice a month on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday evenings.
