Welcome
Greg Fay opened this evening’s meeting welcoming members and numerous guests. He went over our Optimist Club, its good works and fundraisers that are summarized at the bottom of this article.
Speed Networking
Instead of a guest speaker tonight we had a speed networking event.
Jesse Gaither explained how we can get to know a lot more people in a meeting by timed communications.
We paired off and then quickly asked and answered questions to get to know each other better. Every five minutes we changed who we talked to for a total of forty minutes.
People learned more about being an Optimist Club member, discussed their businesses, discussed their personal life and also talked about how they might help each other.
Venue
The venue for tonight’s CNO 2.0 meeting was Bock Family Brewing, located at 8150 Washington Village Dr, Centerville, OH 45458. Thank you to the team at Bock’s for the space and beverages.
Thank you to Far Hills Catering for providing chicken strips, wraps, meatballs, and fried pickles.
There were 35 people at the meeting (15 guests and 20 members).
Greg Fay, chair of CNO 2.0, said he was so thankful for all the guests and members that came to tonight’s meeting. He also gave a recap of what our club is all about and that information follows.
