President Elect Ray attended PETS recently

 

President Elect Ray Bastarache recently attended the PETS training weekend with presidents elect from eight districts of Rotary.  He was impressed with the membership and organization of the event, and excited about the mission that Rotary has undertaken to do good in this world.  The following words about PETS were written by the District Governor Elect, Dave Manzi:

 

 “It is always an inspirational time for Rotarians to meet at the annual President Elect Training Seminar (PETS). This year president-elects, and assistant governors from eight Districts from all six New England States and parts of Canada embarked to Framingham, MA for three days of training, inspiration and fellowship. We were fortunate to hear from Rotary International President-Elect K.R. "Ravi" Ravindran on his 2015-16 Theme "Be a Gift to the World", RI Trustee Mike McGovern and District 7930's own RI Director, Julia Phelps! Each gave powerful speeches that motivated and inspired all of us. Our PE's also heard from many other great speakers and had top-notch training sessions. Many of which were facilitated by D7930 Rotarians. Our Leaders were chosen to help facilitate and train over 500 Rotarians!  I was incredibly proud to hear back from many PE's and AG's about their experience and wanted to share with you what my friend, PE Mike Burns from The Wilmington Rotary Club had to say about his experiences:

 

 

This editor is sure that President Elect Ray would agree with these words from a fellow president elect, and is excited to apply the training provided by PETS.  He is looking forward to his presidency.
