An Amazing District Conference
 

We had many winners the day of the District Conference and Foundation Dinner.  I wanted to thank all who helped plan and execute the days events.  I am truly grateful to all of you who contributed in many, many ways. 
 
The winners of the McCoy/Horner Food Fight were announced at the District Conference…and the winner is…Team McCoy with 29,335 points!  Here are the highlights of the event:
 
Team Horner was a strong challenger with 28,064 points and had the top three clubs in each category.  Kansas City collected 1,193 pounds of food!  Gladstone gave the most money with a donation of $1250.00 and Excelsior Springs donated the most time with 137 hours! 
 
Other Team Horner clubs with impressive statChange s are donations of $1,000 from Independence, $978 and 110 hours of service from the Kansas City Club and $1,032 and 85.50 hours of service from the Waldo Brookside Club.  The top total points per club were #1 the Kansas City Club with 6,205 points followed closely by #2 Waldo Brookside with 6,152 points.

But, there were no losers in this contest as the Food Banks and people of North Missouri Benefited from your generosity.  In total 3,048 pounds of food were collected, $10,949.46 was raised and 1,055 hours were spent in your communities.  Nicely done District 6040 Rotarians! 
 
 
So who won the Golden Tickets?
Mary Jo Eiberger from Cameron won the beach vacation.  Mary Jo said she hasn’t had a vacation in 5 years and is looking forward to visiting Daytona Beach in February with her girlfriends.
 
Karen Van Sickle from Saint Joseph Southside won the beautiful Rotary theme necklace donated by Trisha Kennedy.  Trisha is currently the Blue Springs Club President.  These two ladies made some incredible contributions to the Rotary Foundation that night and I appreciate their generosity and their love for Rotary.
 
You are my Inspiration!
