Friday evening with the theme being Halloween. On Saturday, the business
meeting started at 8:30 a.m. and the morning consisted of reports and a
Chinese auction. We had a guest speaker during the lunch break who gave a
great presentation. The afternoon consisted of workshops, full of
information for optimists to take back to their clubs. The business meeting
