Rotary District 9705 Learning and Development Seminar Day
 
This year the District Learning and Development seminar days will be held in two places to enable as many people as possible to attend. The first one will be held in Goulburn on Saturday 14 May at the Goulburn Services Club, and the second one on Saturday 21 May in Parkes at the Parkes Leagues Club.
These seminars are designed to provide information about Rotary at the club level, all the way up to Rotary International. Participants will be encouraged to share ideas on club projects, different types of clubs and the many different approaches to the running of clubs. This is particularly important for those who are taking on Board positions, committee members or project organisers in the coming Rotary year. The seminars are also a way for any Rotarians interested in learning more about Rotary, the Foundation, the roles of Presidents, Treasurers, Secretaries, and the general organisation of clubs.
Each seminar day will begin at 9.00am and finish by 4.30pm. There will be a dinner organised for those people who intend staying over at each location.  There will be a place on the registration site to indicate if you intend staying for the dinner.
The Federal Election has now been called and will be held on Saturday 21 May. This is the same day the District seminar will be held in Parkes and this may cause some people a problem if they are involved in election activities on the day.  However, there is the option for those people to attend the Goulburn seminar instead. For others, there is the option of pre polling or postal votes if Parkes is a more convenient location.
 
The District Website now has the registration available for both venues and you are encouraged to register as soon as possible. 
 
These Seminars used to be called The District Assembly
 
Saturday 14 May in Goulburn at the Goulburn Services Club
Saturday 21 May in Parkes at the Parkes Leagues Club.
