JOOI District Convention June 23

The Junior Optimist Octagon International (JOOI) Caribbean District Convention is set to take place on Saturday June 23 at the Stella Maris Auditorium, in St Andrew, Jamaica. Here is another wonderful opportunity for all our children to experience this great voluntary service movement of Optimism. 
District Chairperson Lisa-Gaye Anderson and her team are making sure that when the Caribbean arm of  "the world's most dynamic coalition of youth volunteers" get together there will be lots of activities for learning, entertainment, and fellowship. Adult clubs, and especially sponsors, are encouraged to not only participate but also to ensure that their JOOI clubs are out in full force.
With near 16,000 youth volunteers in more than 600 communities, JOOI members are constantly working to promote positive change through several programmes such as The JOOI of Reading which is designed to young people to "pick up a book and start reading" and Internet Safety which is designed to "encourage diligence, awareness and safe practices for teens while online". The youth confab starts at 9 in the morning at the 62 Shortwood Road location.
