Q2 Conference set for Ocho Rios

OPTIMIST INTERNATIONAL Caribbean District will hold its second quarter conference in the popular Jamaican tourist area of Ocho Rios, St Ann from February 28 – March 1, 2015.
Governor Barbara Arrindell and the Step-by-Step team are gearing up to play hosts to the many Caribbean Optimists expected to converge on the beautiful hideaway boutique property, The Hibiscus Lodge Hotel.
Among the highlights of the weekend confab will be the always exciting and classic Awards Banquet & Ball to be hosted by Immediate Past Governor Nutilia Simon. The formal ceremony to be held on Saturday evening will recognize and honour the achievers of the 2013-2014 year as announced by the District and International achievements and awards committees.
Other highlights include a special reading by the award winning Jamaican author, A-dZiko Simba Gegele; as well as a suite of exciting leadership and personal development training workshops and fellowship activities. These activities include the entertaining and energetic Optimists Got Talent and Optimist Olympics.
According District Secretary-Treasurer Jason Gilead, this is a conference not to be missed.
“Plan to be there and encourage another Optimist to come", says the DST in a release announcing the first call to the conference.
"This is definitely going to be one of those conferences where if you miss it, you will be saying "I can’t believe I missed that..." for years to come.  Enough said!” warned DST Jason.
