District 6440 Conference 2014

 

With great pleasure I personally invite you to join your fellow Rotarians in Oak Brook, IL, on April 11-13, for our District 6440 Conference 2014. 

 

We‘ll hear energetic and inspiring speakers, celebrate the impact of our engagement in the work of our clubs, and enjoy great entertainment and hospitality with members of our Rotary family from near and far during the 48 hours from Friday mid-day through Sunday morning.  Your personal involvement will enhance that experience for every one of the others of us and provide you with some Rotary nourishment as you go forward with your club and individual service activities.

 

PDG Timothy Buckley will be joining us as the Representative of RI President Ron Burton.  We’ll hear also from Past RI Vice-president Tom Thorfinnson and Rotarian Jason Daenens.  We’ll be entertained by the music of John Ballantyne’s Crazy Heart and by the variety of talent among our Rotary Youth Exchange student group.  We’ll gather in the House of Friendship to buy Rotary merchandise, have refreshments, and check out project displays.  On our Hospitality nights, we’ll play games in the Rotary Olympics that never will become official with the IOOC.  And we’ll enjoy our overnight stays at the Oak Brook Hills Resort for a bargain price.

 

Registration for Conference and for the Saturday morning District Assembly that it wraps around must be made online.  You can link to registration through the district website by selecting “District Conference & Assembly” from the Upcoming Events menu or by using the shortcut at http://bit.ly/1cgQq57.  When you register you can make entrée selections and pay by credit card for the meal package or the individual meals you choose.  Your overnight hotel reservation must be made separately, but a link through our online registration system enables you to get to the Oak Brook Hills Resort site directly for that reservation.  The deadline for securing one of our discounted rooms is Monday, March 24.  So, please make the time to do that now.

 

I look forward to seeing you soon at the biggest gathering of our Rotary family this year.
