Zone 4 ready for Q4 meetings

THE OI-7804 family has been an awesome force over the last three quarters. As the family heads into the final zone and district meetings for the 2011-2012 year we are on a high. The members are indeed geared up and ready to do everything we can to ensure that our clubs, zone and district finish the Power of one hundred percent and then some year, stronger and better. One of the highlights of this last quarter is the Zone meeting.

The Q4 Zone meeting is on for Saturday, August 18, 2012 starting at 2:30 pm at the St Paul's Church Hall in  Cross Roads. Those of us who are yet to make a zone meeting are expected to make the special effort to join the regulars so our family gathering will be the strongest ever. The long-awaited Optimism Awareness Quiz should be fun and learning all rolled into one; and the special workshop on preparing for the Community Project Awards should auger well for the clubs in our zone. The Q4 Zone meeting is being hosted by Kingston Breakfast.

Also, coming up in this quarter is The Power of One District Convention 2012 from Friday August 24 to Sunday August 26 at Sunset Jamaica Grande Resort and Spa, Ocho Rios. We are ready for that too! All our clubs are working to field full strength delegations. The annual conventions are must-attend events for their excellence in fellowship and training as well as the always-exciting Governors reception which this year carries the Jamaica50 theme.  Of course, there is the high energy installation ceremony for the 2012-2013 admininistration to be led by Governor-designate Lynden Buchanan. Among the special guests for Convention 2012 are Jamaica's Minister of Youth and Culture, Lisa Hanna and Past International Vice President Jim Oliver.

It's a great time to be an Optimist.
