Zone 3 Optimist Clubs are rolling out the red carpet for a weekend centered around our ultimate objective: B.O.N.D. – Building Opportunities, Nurturing Dreams. This 1st quarter meeting promises to be licensed to thrill, delivering a weekend of fellowship, fun, and vital information to help us continue saving the world, one child at a time.
Your Pre-Mission Briefing: "No" Before You Go!
Before you report for duty, your primary directive is to watch Ian Fleming's Dr. No—the very first James Bond film adventure. Reviewing this classic film will ensure you are fully prepared for a Q1 District Meeting like "No" other. Consider your weekend shaken, not stirred.
