Michael grew up in a rotary family as his dad joined when Michael was a young boy and now he himself has been with rotary for 16 years. His Dad was introduced to rotary as a visitor to a rotary fireside meeting in Wadertown and actually made a connection which saw him purchase a clothing business as well as join the club.

  His position of Ass. District Gov. has the job of acting as liaison between clubs and Rotary International Administration so he is a go to guy.  Also he has the task of ensuring training is available for incoming club presidents.

News includes that ton April 8th next year will be a major rotary anniversary.  that is 100 years since the creation of Rotary Foundation. No doubt there will be announcements in the future for events to mark the occasion.  Also there will be a district friendship exchange with New Zealand in 2017. Again there will be more details to be announced but consider taking this worthwhile  opportunity if you can.

 Upcoming is the district conference  this fall in our own lake district, Oct 27 to 30  and there are still rooms available at the hotel Marriat if you have not yet booked. District Governor Margaret has adopted a motto for us for the coming year which is "putting it together in unique ways"

Consider planning also for the international conference in 2017 at Atlanta, USA  and then another opportunity in Toronto in 2018.

Also members within our district are encouraged to consider joining the district team in one of thre new positions opening up,this year. They are: Interact Chair, Vocational services and Insurance Liaison.
