As we move into April we are in the middle of “Event” season. Many clubs have fund raisers underway and are thinking about the ways in which they will be celebrating the last 3 months of their Rotary year with a variety of activities planned.
 
At the District level we have a couple of big events planned, starting with “The Impact Women Make” on Thursday April 21st. Gentlemen do not be misled by the title – it is a Cocktail evening and Fundraiser and everyone is invited. Also a great opportunity to bring a potential Rotarian out. We are very fortunate to have Julia Phelps in attendance and our Guest Speaker for the evening. Julia is a Rotary International Director with specific responsibilities relating to our District. 
 
As you know The District Conference (Discon) is coming up shortly. It is filling up quickly and we have 300 Rotarians and Guests already signed up. Still plenty of time to be part of this memorable weekend. You can find out the latest by going to www.discon5360.ca .
It is also Awards season when individual Rotarians as well as Clubs will be recognized for their achievements – all District Awards will be presented at Discon including the new Monty Audenart Inspirational Award.
 
At this time I would like to thank everyone for the phenomenal work that they have put in this year – I consistently hear of wonderful stories and just wish I had the space here to document each one of them. By the way you will hear about many of them at the Conference.
All for now and we will see you in Canmore, if not before, as we continue this great journey.
