The District Conference held last weekend was awesome.  The District Conference is where we go to learn about the tremendous impact that Rotary has on the lives of people in our communities both here and abroad.  

Making a difference.

Bryn Styles, the RI President's Personal Representative to our conference stated that it is important to attend the District Conference to understand the breadth of activities in which Rotary is engaged.  Rotary is not RI - Rotary is us, Rotarian and Friends, and we're supported by Clubs, Districts, Zone, RI.  But without us the Clubs, Districts, Zones and RI wouldn't exist.  But we should remember to prioritise our commitment - Family comes first, then work, then Rotary.  Don't overcommit as you'll lose everything.

Rotary's vision is  "Together we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change - across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves."  Rotarians are People of Action!  and we must be able, and prepared, to tell our personal stories in our local communities.  Membership has to be flexible.  Diversity - each club has to reflect the diversity of its local community . What is Belconnen's diversity profile and what is the diversity profile of our club?
