- **Event Description**: Join Us for the First Charlotte Optimist Storytellers GatheringAbout this EventThe Charlotte Optimist is bringing its stories to life, and you're invited.At this inaugural gathering, Michael Graff, journalist and founder of The Charlotte Optimist, will host a live interview with Manolo Betancur, owner of Manolo’s Bakery, who was recently featured in the Optimist.Manolo’s story reflects something we’ve discovered in the Optimist’s first ten months: Charlotte is full of people who care deeply about this city and want a deeper connection to it. They want to understand it better. They want a media outlet that shares their hope and enthusiasm for Charlotte, while still being honest about its challenges.As an immigrant from Colombia, a small business owner, and a tireless champion for Charlotte, Manolo embodies that spirit.This won’t be a traditional stage interview. Instead, it will be a salon-style conversation, designed to follow a full storytelling arc, bringing the audience along for the journey. The interview will also be recorded, and there will be time for audience questions.Come hear a great Charlotte story, connect with others who care about the future of our city, and experience the Optimist beyond the newsletter.SCHEDULE6:30 - Grab a beverage from Free Range Brewing and join us for conversation7:00 - Live interview with Manolo Betancur8:00 - Audience Q&amp;A8:30 - Continued conversations9:00 - Event over
