“I have been asked by Rotarians, both young and old, why they should go to the annual District Conference. This made me realize two things: New members have no idea what a District Conference is; and “seasoned” members who “have been there, done that” do not realize that Rotary is ever-changing. Rotary is bigger Rotary!
To most of our members, Rotary is understood within the confines of their weekly meetings and an occasional service project. To many members, Rotary is not “1.4 million members worldwide,” but only the members in their club.
A District Conference is that place that gets Rotarians out of the confines of “just their club.” At the conference, they can learn more about Rotary and make new friends who have the same values and ethics. It is also a place where you can see friends who you have not seen in a while and catch up on old times.The District Conference is FUN for everyone!
Rotary International is ever-changing. Unless you go to a District Conference once in a while, it is very hard to realize and follow the constant changes in the organization. For one weekend, we are letting our families see that helping others is not just a random occurrence, but an everyday happening. Rotary is FUN!. It is my promise that your you will not be disappointed.”
