NC East District Quarterly Meeting and Convention Schedule
ALL Meetings are Rewarding & Fun Events, for ALL Optimist Members in the
District and not just for the District & Club Officers
Soon we will be holding
the first quarterly district meeting of the new Optimist year. This meeting
will be the first district meeting held under the leadership of your new
district officers. We hope you and as many as possible of your fellow
Optimists will take part and give our new Governor Barbara Timmons and her
team the benefit of your input and support. Your participation is needed to
help run this district.
This year the first
quarter meeting will be held on November 7-8, at the Holiday Inn Express in Selma . The weekend will
start with an informal dinner at 5:00 PM at the Robbins Nest Restaurant,
next to the hotel. Dinner will be a Seafood and Country Buffet, costing
$12.50 per person (pay the restaurant). Please indicate on your meeting
registration form how many people will be attending the dinner. Following
the dinner there will be a District Executive Committee meeting and
entertainment from the Boys & Girls Homes in Lake Waccamaw
.
On Saturday morning we
will hold our first quarter District Board of Directors meeting. Each club
president (or his/her delegated representative) is automatically on the
board and is needed to attend to help decide the affairs of the District. A
luncheon will follow the Board meeting.
Important Note:
On Saturday there will be training workshops for
the following Club Chairs or a representative for each: New Club Building
(Adult, College and JOOI), Essay
Contest, Oratorical Contest, CCDHH and Membership.
Above are links to copies
of the meeting and hotel registration forms and an over-all meeting event
schedule. Note that the deadline for both the meeting and the motel
pre-registration is October 24th. After that date you cannot be
assured of getting the negotiated group room rates. Please distribute
copies of these forms to the members of your club and encourage them to
attend.
Past International
President Ronnie Dunn and Wayne Dunn will be attending our meeting. Let’s
give them a warm NC East welcome!
Governor Barbara has a
number of new activities planned for her first meeting. I’m sure it will be
fun and productive. I hope to see you and many of your fellow club members
there.

a District Executive Committee meeting. After the Executive Committee
meeting, we will hold an auction to raise money for the O.I.
Foundation. So gather all those useful, but not needed items from your
home to put in the auction. This will help support all the programs
that are funded through the Foundation. And, of course, a hospitality
room will be open this evening, too, so that Optimists from across the
District can share in the camaraderie.
On Saturday morning we will hold our first
quarter District Board of Directors meeting. Each club president (or
his/her delegated representative) is automatically on the board and is
needed to attend to help decide the affairs of the District. At the
Saturday afternoon luncheon, Immediate Past Governor Dan Durham will be

last year such a success.
