In case you missed Mandy Sheldon's email last week about the District Conference I have attached the information below. Please consider attending the District Conference this year. It sounds like it's going to be a great conference....and did you see there is a pub crawl? And if that doesn't get you excited, there's golf and some great presentations! If you are interested in carpooling please let me know and I can connect you with others who are attending.
One of the highlights of the Rotary year is the annual District Conference; an opportunity to join fellow Rotarians from across northeast Kansas for a few days of information, inspiration, and fun! The committee has put together a great schedule of events, and we’d love to see you there. Our theme, “Building Champions, Changing the World”, will play upon Kansas City’s recent sports reputation as a budding “Title Town”, while focusing the work of our clubs and members to improve our communities – both locally and abroad.
Held on September 22-24, 2022, at the Hyatt Place at Lenexa City Center, the conference will feature nationally known keynote speakers, phenomenal breakout sessions on a variety of service and organizational topics (including several roundtable sessions that will allow you to brainstorm and compare notes with members from other clubs on a variety of relevant topics), hands-on service projects, and plenty of fellowship!
Click HERE to register for the conference today.
The program includes:
Thursday:
11:00am: Rotary Golf Tournament at St. Andrews Golf Club (See attached Flyer)
6:00pm: Pub Crawl, Beginning at Transport Brewery in Downtown Shawnee
Friday:
A full day of inspiring keynote speakers (including Royals Announcer Ryan LaFebvre, KC World Cup Executive Director Katherine Holland, and Kansas State Football’s Joe Hall, Jr.) and breakout sessions!
In addition, we’ll be hosting a club “Service Fair” and encouraging each club to break out their best middle school science fair skills to create a two or three-fold poster display of their favorite project, for a chance at some great prizes (including a club happy hour sponsoring by me for your club!). More details are attached!
Saturday:
We’ll start the day over breakfast talking about a topic that is very close to my heart – organ donation, with a keynote from a living kidney donor from India who is driving across the globe spreading the importance of donation, as well as comments from our newest district satellite club aimed at stopping organ trafficking/harvesting.
From there, we’ll finish out the conference doing hands-on service projects, including assembling disaster response kits for Heart to Heart International, “fresh start” kits for our local (CAAHT Club) sponsored anti-human trafficking global grant, and more!
We hope you’ll register for the conference today (HERE) and join us on September 22-24, 2022, in Lenexa! You’ll be glad you did!
