Please explore the below events the district has going on- District Conference, RYLA, PETS, Champions of Peace and International Service Committee. Hardworking Rotarians are bringing these events/ opportunities to you and I'd like you all to take the time to see how you can help our district.
If you have any questions, about the events below please reach out to me at jcosgrove7490@gmail.com.
