The 2019 District Conference is happening October 11-12th in nearby Santa Ynez at the Chumash Casino Resort and registration is now open! The conference is an all day event on Saturday the 12th; if you opt to join in other activities the evening before such as the Pinot for Polio fundraiser, there are a variety of nearby accommodations to choose from. This year's event includes a presentation by the United Nations' Counter Terrorism expert on current challenges facing our world, inspiring speakers, sharing of successful Rotary service projects and best practices sessions such as navigating the Rotary grant funding program. If you have never been to a District Conference, it's a worthwhile and fun experience whether you are a new member, serving on the club board or a longtime Rotarian. Be sure to check it out and register early!
