Rotarians from throughout our District will meet at the University of Southern Maine’s Portland Campus, Saturday, April 2nd, for our annual District Assembly. This training program will provide our District’s hard working Rotarians with the tools they need to make the coming year a success. Goals of the day are to:

• Meet Rotarians from around the District - share ideas designed to help your Club achieve its utmost.
• Learn about special service projects planned for 2016-2017.
• Hear from your fellow Rotarians as they share their passion for their Rotary projects.
