Virtual District Conference This Thursday & Friday
There is no charge to attend all or just parts of this event. To do so, Google "Rotary District 5580" and click on "Home Page/Rotary District 5580" and then you will see in big bold letters "REGISTER TODAY". They just want your name, e-mail address and current position in the Club and District. As to the latter two, if you hold an office or chair a committee you can enter that or just enter "member" for the club position; you can do likewise for your district position. Please review the schedule above and make an effort to attend at least one session that appears of interest to you so as to expand your knowledge of Rotary.
