“THE DISTRICT CONFERENCE”

I remember well the first District Conference I attended. It was during PDG David Lee’s year and it was held at Stanthorpe, my old home town.
In company with a few other couples from my Club we took the opportunity to “make a week-end” of the occasion and had a fantastic time.
The “conference” provided me with my very first glimpse of Rotary fellowship beyond the club level.
The keynote speaker was Colonel Rambuka from Fiji. who brought home the Internationality of Rotary. Also there, was Peter Drysdale an expat Australian in Fiji heavily involved in Providing low cost housing to Fijian Nationals. His passion was infectious and his modus operandi spellbinding.
Since attending that “first” conference all those years ago I have been to each subsequent one and I can honestly say that there has not been one where I have not learnt something new.
The “District Conference” is also a venue and opportunity for exchanges of ideas with fellow Rotarians. An opportunity to be informed, to be inspired, to be “Rotarized”. This opportunity will present itself again on 7-9th May this year when the “Country Meets the Sea” District 9640 Conference will be held at Sharks Football Club at Labrador. We have arranged speakers on Ethics, Literacy, NID’s, Childhood Infectious Diseases, Orphanages in Cambodia and many more. We will have speakers on The Rotary Foundation, The Australian Rotary health research Fund membership and other Rotary programs. We have Paul Martell the renowned comedian coming, as well as a couple of bands to keep the rockers going till dawn. Neil Diamond may be there as well and there is a rumour doing the rounds that Elvis has been seen in the Labrador area.
Each district Rotarian has already paid $13 as part of the annual subscription to cover the costs of this conference so you owe it to yourself not to miss this opportunity to be part of one of, “the events of the year”.
