Optimists Celebrate the 60’s

We’re celebrating the Sixties at the GATEway District’s First Quarter Conference at Chateau Élan Winery and Spa in Braselton, Georgia, October 28-30, 2016. Join Governor Rudy and your fellow Optimists from across Georgia and East Tennessee as we come together to get that groovy Optimist feeling! Enjoy a weekend of fun, fellowship and outstanding training as the GATEway District kicks off the 2016-2017 Optimist year. Saturday evening you’re invited to an “I Love the 60’s” party – there will be games, bubble gum, popcorn, hula hoops, costume contests and dance competitions. So grab your bellbottoms, Mary Janes, Go Go Boots, tie-dyed shirts and let the celebration begin! Make your reservations today!

McIntosh County Optimist Club’s guest speaker, an Honor Graduate of McIntosh County Academy and a College Graduate, returned home and became the Director of Adult Education, Megan Jacobs. Megan shared all of the wonderful offerings of the program. She said in addition to getting assistance in acquiring your GED, there are classes for SAT/ACT Prep, ASVAB Prep, Georgia Work Keys and Soft Skills such as Resume Writing and Interview Skills. The members were amazed to hear about all of her partnerships with other local organizations and agencies such as the Development Authority, the Chamber, the McIntosh County School System and Department of Labor. Megan asked for community support in spreading the word to folks 16 years and older who desire to earn their GED and have an opportunity to prepare for the other test prep offerings.
