District Assembly

DGE Wulff presented his upcoming term’s peace pursuit priority.  With a straw vote, and there was a lot of straw/hay on hand for his western hoe-down theme, Wulff garnered a hearty affirmative response.  Inspired by his experience at the recent Zone Peace Conference  in Ontario, California, Wulff wants to further the efforts currently afoot to teach constructive conflict resolution skills and strategies. 

The following day, Wulff introduced Keynote Speaker Elizabeth Gore and in this novel, informal interview format helped her  share her insights and vision as former United Nations Chair of Global Entrepreneurs for Rotarian action in local and global peace initiatives:  Attend, Join, Advocate!!  YOU can make a DIFFERENCE. 

Sunrise Rotary was well represented:  President Eloise, President Elect Merle Hayes, District Vocational Service Chair Peter Hoberg, Carmen Gutierrez, Doug Shureen, Rich Randolph, PDG Del Raby, Dicksie Tamanaha and Steve Zwick nearly took an entire table end! 

Eloise' husband Jack lead a session on leadership, Steve, Merle and Rich learned new District and RI rules for volunteers with youth.  The Social Media marketing session led by Rotarian and Sonoma State University Professor Kerry Rego was extremely insightful to this Baby Boomer.  

This annual event is a great way to energize the remainder of one Rotary year, and ramp up to the next.
