We, Michelle Bell and I, attended the ChiZone 17 Leadership Development Summit in Chicago this past weekend. Michelle as a Future District Governor and I as a Future Leader.
 
The theme was Past, Present and Future of Rotary.  The first day we celebrated the history of Rotary, the people who paved the way and the accomplishments Rotarians had made.  The second day was all about the present, what we are doing now and how we can empower our current members and clubs.  The third day was all about the future, where Rotary is going, what we want to accomplish and how we will get there.  I participated in the Future Leaders track, Michelle attended the District Governor track for the more season Rotarians who were stepping into leadership roles in the near future  We had keynote speakers and then break out sessions during the day.  In the evening we had fellowship and fun!  I recorded a few daily video recaps for you on our Facebook page and took lots of photos.  I came home with tons of ideas that we may want to explore utilized with our club.  Most importantly, I learned that this organization is full of like minded people who just want to make the world a better place.  Thank you so much for sending me to ChiZone.  Please reach out personally if you would like more information.  I would love to sit down over coffee and discuss. 
 
With my sincere thanks, Christa
