Boldly Forward 2017 District Conference Update

Posted by Brian Smith on Mar 30, 2017
 
Put away that snow shovel, think Apple Blossoms, and join your Rotarian colleagues at the Old Orchard Inn in early June.  As of March 24, we have about 70 delegates registered, and “the Old O” rooms are about half booked.  Please make your plans now - Just go to the District 7820 Conference website.  Please contact Registrar Gord Hankin or Conference Coordinator Holly Thompson conference.registration@outlook.com with any questions or special needs.
 
Conference Highlights:
                                Home Hosting, a chance to meet other Rotarians where they live.
Friday                   Rose Adams: Breathe   
                                Ron Denham:  Hope for Millions
                                Bryn Styles:  A Foundation Worth Building On
                                Blues, Brews & Barbeque, with the Mark Riley Band
Saturday              Stephen Brown: Rotary International Update   
                                Peter Bevan-Baker: The Happy Dentist
                                Governor’s Banquet, with The Spinney Brothers
Sunday                 Memorial Service and Closing Brunch
 
Finally, a reminder to Club Executives, that we are seeking contributions from all over the District for the Youth Program Silent Auction.  This is a great chance to show off your local businesses, restaurants and tourist sites with a gift certificate, and raise some money to support youth programs.   Please ensure that Youth Exchange, Interact or Rotaract members are also registered early, so we can plan to welcome them at the Conference as well.
