SUMMARY:Q3 District Conference 2024-2025
DESCRIPTION:Photos\n\n\n\nSlideshow\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpring is busting out all over and that is exactly what we are doing in the Ohio District. Please mark your calendars for the 3rd conference this year on May 3\, 2025. In my opinion\, it is the most interesting and fun conference of the year. Optimists are all about service to children…well at this conference we will be hosting the best in the Oratorical contest and the final Essay and CCDHH contest winners. You will be able to hear these fantastic students tell us about how Optimism helped them through challenging times in their lives. Please come to honor these students. Let’s fill the room with support and encouragement!!  \n\n\n\nIt is truly a day well spent in service. You will learn about a successful fundraiser and the incredibly talented Mike Bevis\, a fellow Optimist\, will discuss both member recruitment and retention as well as new club building. It is springtime after all\, a time for growth\, a perfect time to hear how all clubs can grow. Growth means having more people to serve more children. That is what we are all about. Serving Children. “Let’s Grow” our clubs! \n\n\n\nAt the same time\, we will be provided with unbelievably valuable life-supportive leadership training from Mike Zywien. This series is the third in the series. The series has been well accepted. Learn not only how to lead your club but how to grow personally and professionally. Mike is aware that you are ALL the leaders in your clubs\, but the series is provided so you can take it back to your clubs. The future of the Optimist Organization is about the future leaders and this series on leadership supports and trains those leaders. \n\n\n\nWe are doing something a little different this conference. The conference will end at 4:30 Saturday afternoon. There will not be dinner.  I hope you can spend the day with us. I promise you it will be well worth it. \n\n\n\nYours in Optimism\, \n\n\n\nTerry Schalnat – Governor \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday Lunch (included with registration)\n\n\n\n\nGarden salad\n\n\n\nBeef pot roast\n\n\n\nFried chicken\n\n\n\nMac & cheese\n\n\n\nGreen beans\n\n\n\nCookies\n\n\n\n\nNo Banquet Meal Saturday Evening\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nPricing\n\n\n\n\nConference registration is $50.\n\n\n\nFriday evening dinner is NOT included.\n\n\n\nSee note at the bottom of this page about what the registration covers.\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\nJOI Register\n\n\n\nQuestions\n\n\n\nOfficial Call\n\n\n\nHotel Registration

SUMMARY:Q2 District Conference 2025-2026
DESCRIPTION:Evaluation\n\n\n\n\nNote: The Hospitality Suite will be located in Suite #615\n\n\n\nGet ready Ohio Optimists! \n\n\n\nI’m thrilled to officially invite you to the Second Quarter Ohio District Conference\, February 6–8\, 2026\, at the Embassy Suites Conference Center\, 5100 Upper Metro Place\, Dublin\, Ohio 43017. Mark your calendars and plan to join us for a weekend filled with fun\, fellowship\, and Optimist pride! \n\n\n\nWe’ll kick off the weekend on Friday\, February 6\, 2026\, in the Hospitality Room\, featuring a 2026 Winter Olympics theme as the Opening Ceremonies take place that evening. Join us for snacks\, beverages\, fun\, and fellowship. This is a BYOB event — feel free to bring food to share. We’ll provide ice\, coolers\, basic mixers\, and light snacks both evenings\, with pizza or subs on Friday (donations appreciated to help cover costs). Be sure to join in a fun 10-question Winter Olympics trivia for a little friendly competition and extra laughs! \n\n\n\nOptimist International Foundation Executive Director Craig Boring will be joining us all day to give further insight into the OI Foundation and has special awards to present during Past Governor\, Terry Schalnat’s\, award ceremony Saturday evening. We’ll recognize District participation in International Optimist Day\, which is celebrated worldwide on the first Thursday of each February. We will also highlight the C.A.R.E. Program (C-Celebrate\, A-Address\, R-Recognize\, E-Excel)\, which focuses on membership — the key to our organization and the communities we serve. \n\n\n\nWe’re also excited to welcome a special guest speaker\, Dennis VanFossen Jr.\, Chief Executive Officer of the International Soap Box Derby. A former Soap Box Derby world champion and lifelong Optimist at heart\, Dennis brings incredible energy\, leadership\, and passion to his story — from racing at Derby Downs to leading this iconic organization into its next chapter. His presentation promises inspiration\, excitement\, and plenty of fun. \n\n\n\nWe’ll continue our focus on strengthening our clubs through membership growth and retention. If every Ohio Optimist Club added just one new member\, our District would truly soar — and this conference will help spark that momentum. \n\n\n\nAnd of course\, we’ll add a little fun! 🎉 The Governor’s Raffle will be drawn on Saturday\, February 7\, at Past Governor\, Terry Schalnat’s\, award ceremony and every registered attendee is automatically entered for a chance to win a basket of 250 lottery tickets. Just attend and you could be our lucky winner! \n\n\n\nSave the date\, bring a fellow Optimist (or a future one!)\, and get ready for an energizing weekend.

SUMMARY:78th Annual District Convention 2025-2026
DESCRIPTION:Evaluation Form\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for the 78th Ohio Optimist Convention! It is with great excitement and gratitude that I welcome each of you to the 2025-2026 Optimist Year.  As we step into this new season together\, I am honored to serve as your Governor and to continue the incredible work of spreading Optimism throughout our communities. \n\n\n\nOur theme this month is “Celebrating Change.”  Change brings growth\, new opportunities\, and fresh perspectives.  It reminds us that with every new challenge comes the chance to learn\, to adapt\, and to strengthen our mission of bringing out the best in youth\, our communities\, and ourselves. \n\n\n\nI invite every club and every member across the Ohio District to embrace this spirit of change\, whether through new projects\, fresh ideas\, or renewed energy in the work you are already doing. Together\, we will celebrate not only the traditions that make our organization strong\, but also the possibilities that lie ahead when we open ourselves to growth and transformation. \n\n\n\nThank you for all that you do\, and for the countless ways you embody Optimist in action.  Let’s make 2025-2026 a year of inspiration\, impact\, and meaningful change worth celebrating! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\nJOI Register\n\n\n\nQuestions\n\n\n\nOfficial Call\n\n\n\nHotel Registration\n\n\n\nSponsor
