This past week, our very own Richard Flanders pulled off an amazing event that brought together service minded individuals from near and far. The District conference was attended by hundreds if not thousands of Rotarians from not only our District but also around the world. I personally met with members from as far afield as India (a past District Governor) and Nigeria (one of them a Yoruba chief).
 
Richard, the event was a fantastic showcasing of your amazing organizational and planning skills and attendance was more than double what has been seen in past years. Only second to Richard D. King's year, if I heard correctly, and a very impressive achievement by any measure of the word. I've heard attendees comment that it was the best District Conference they've ever been to.
 
A heartfelt word of thanks to Richard from the World's Greatest Rotary Club, Pleasanton North Rotary. Our hats are off to you. 🎩🎩🎩
