“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”.
