The Rotary Conference at Albury last year was indeed well done, and they raised the bar of excellence. However Rotary Club of Eltham raised that bar a few more steps higher. The highlights of the 3 days Zilis and I attended were as follows:

  • The Venue in Wangaratta was superb. Great facilities, including good audio.
  • This beautiful City was enhanced by the weather.(25.26.27 degrees)
  • Speakers were good to unbelievable. Any of these people would warrant a 2nd listen, particularly Hugh Evans CEO of Global Poverty Project. He is the Keynote Speaker at the Rotoract Conference in September, and I would urge all to attend. Our Rotoract Club are hosting this event, and we should support them.
  • The Chairman from Eltham was David McFarlane, a true Heavyweight of Chairmen.
  • The Saturday function in Merriwa Park, included a nice meal, good entertainment and good fellowship.
  • The farewell BBQ lunch was also at the Park.
  • On the Friday Evening the 18 attendees from Greensborough enjoyed an excellent meal in our own Room.(the Sterling Room).Food, Wine, Soft Drink were combined with a presentation by each attendee, to indicate 2 people they would have as dinner guests. How entertaining this was, and contributed a new  understanding and strengthened Fellowship between all of us.

To all members... You missed out on a Great Conference, Good Food, and Good Fellowship.    Please come next year, and learn a little more of your Rotary  Family
