OPtimist International President Designate Theo Golding was the guest of honor. Highlights included a curling exhibition at the Lane County Fair led by Al Kersey, a fabulous fiesta party hosted by Sue Broadwater and the Roseburg Optimist Club and the Governor's Banquet where Steve Andersen and his team were installed and made ready to assume their duties on October 1. Soon-to-be the Immediate Past Governor, Gay Enyeart encouraged those present to continue leading all districts in Optimist International by adding more members and building new clubs. Peter Smith, Coquitlam Optimist Club was elected governor-elect for the coming year. Adele Heinrich, N.
