Those with long memories will recall the Club raised members funds from Jokers Wild to sponsor attendance at the conference the Rotary Club of Berwick was running, or rather “The Conference that Never Happened”, in Bendigo 2020.
There is money in the bank to be spent on Conference subsidy!
At Tuesday night’s Board meeting, it was ratified the funds be used to sponsor Club members’ attendance at the upcoming District Conference to be held in Traralgon over the weekend 25 – 27 February 2022. The very purpose for which the funds were raised!
It is expected there will be a minimum $200 refund to every Rotary Club of Berwick member who registers and attends the conference, payable after the Conference concludes.
What you need to do:
1. Click on this link to be inspired by the program and line up of speakers, view your registration and accommodation options and find the all-important registration link. Getting your Club on board | District 9820 (rotary9820.org.au)
2. Register and pay.
3. IMPORTANTLY, book your accommodation. There is an abundance of accommodation in Traralgon with options listed in the above link. Accommodation is in high demand by contract workers coming into the town. The nature of upcoming works makes this demand unpredictable. DON’T RISK MISSING OUT. The very new, very “smick” Mantra is the closest accommodation to the conference venue. Some Berwick members are already booked there.
4. Following the Conference, the sums will be done with subsidies being refunded across registered members.
Need more inspiration and motivation? Here’s Jen’s take on Rotary conferencing:
“It was brilliant and has once again reminded me why I joined Rotary 6 years ago. One outstanding reason I joined was because of the stories we hear at conferences. The presenters were all brilliant, diverse, interesting, and inspiring.
Again, like all Rotary conferences, I am filled with that overwhelming feeling I get from hearing the humanitarian stories of struggles, challenges, and injustices. They remind me that the world is full of people less fortunate than myself and that small feeling of how can I help anyone out there? But that's the beauty of Rotary, I am part of this group of people, all contributing in whatever way they can, to achieve big, amazing things - and that makes me feel good 😊”
Top that off with large doses of fun and friendship, why wouldn’t you want to take up this opportunity?
