This email is to all District 6040 Rotarians.
I don’t have to tell you that the COVID19 virus has changed our lives forever. I don’t have to remind you of the need for social distancing or for sheltering in place. Plenty of news on that end. What I do need to inform you is that we have decided to postpone our Rotary District Conference scheduled for April 24-26 at Margaritaville at the Lake of the Ozarks. We have already notified the folks who had reservations of the need to delay and now we are informing everyone. The hotel has instructed us that they will cancel all of the room reservations that were made through the link we sent out to so you do not need to call them.
We have been working for the last week to develop an alternative. We have arranged with the resort to move the event until August 21-23, 2020. This is the weekend before the labor day weekend so it will be a late summer event at the lake. Guess what? The hotel is extending the same out of season rate, of $114.00 a night, to the August date at the height of their busy season. All the pools and restaurants will be open and the lake will be hoppin! Lots for the family to do and we will give you time to do it.
The event will definitely be different than our original plan. More information on the rescheduled Four Way Test Speeches and Shoes for Orphan Souls rollcall will be coming out soon. In their place we will be adding training events that normally happen in mid-August at our REAL event. And we will still plan on providing you with super speakers, entertainment, a great service event brought to you by Rise Against Hunger, and hopefully some 2019-2020 awards as well.

Do us a favor. If you have not registered and this looks interesting. Hit reply and type WOW. No commitment on your part but it will help us in the planning for the event.
We hope to see you there. In the meantime we wish you the best of health. During this time of cancelled Rotary Club meetings please reach out to your fellow Rotarians and keep that Rotary core value of fellowship going.
Yours in Rotary Service.
