"One Day Fun Day" Spring District Conference
The District 5950 Spring Conference “One Day Fun Day” was held on a very snow covered Friday, April 19th at the Hotel Sofitel. Attending from the Excelsior Rotary Club (pictured here) were Joyce Kurus, Nick Ruehl, Jean Gray, Jerry Brecke and Karen and Steve Frazier.
Rotary’s theme for this year is “Peace Through Service” and bringing greetings from RI President Sakuji Tanaka was Tom Fries from Green Bay. He reviewed many of the World initiatives that Rotary is undertaking this year and made the statement, “Peace is a state of not…not any hunger, not any war, not any poverty.” Then Governor Bob Stowell brought his greeting and awarded recognition and gifts to the conference planners and to Executive Director Diane Confer. Bob talked about District initiatives and said, “Keep telling our Rotarian story and the impact that we can make as a group.” Awards were then given to over 100 Rotarians for their work this past year The Excelsior Rotary Club received two awards. One for Community Service and the other was the Rotary International Presidential Citation Award. It was a great breakfast meeting and the place was packed! Jerry Brecke and Nick Ruehl stayed for the rest of day to represent our club.
