Howdy Rotarians! On behalf of District Governor Roger McCabe and the entire 2009 Conference committee, we want to personally invite each one of you along with your spouses, children, and grandchildren to Bryan/College Station, April 24-26, 2009.Come join us for the F.U.N.--which stands for Fellowship, Updates, and Notables.
At the 2009 District conference you get to meet folks from a broad spectrum of interests, careers, and ages, and you’ll have many opportunities to FELLOWSHIP with your fellow Rotarians while exploring Bryan/College Station.
We also want to encourage you to bring your families, so we’ve planned special activities to entertain your spouses, children, and grandchildren.It’s our belief that in order to sustain Rotary, we need to include our families, setting a personal example for club, community, vocational, and international involvement by sharing the Rotary experience.
For your school age kids or grandkids, we’ve arranged a Kid’s Club Friday and Saturday.Transportation, food, and activities will be included and our District Rotaract students will help chaperone. For spouses, we have the annual golf tournament Friday, and on Saturday morning we’ll offer two options: either, breakfast and antiquing in downtown Bryan, or a floral design class.Transportation will be provided, but space will be limited, so be sure and pre-register to let us know you’re interested!
No Conference would be complete without plenty of UPDATES about what’s been going on around the district! We’ll get to hear the latest from our Youth Exchange participants, Ambassadorial Scholars, and GSE teams, as well as get the scoop on District projects.
Something new we will provide at the Conference is a Rotary District Yearbook. To make this special, we need every club to participate.All 42 clubs will get one 8.5 x 11 page (front & back) to spotlight their club achievements, members, and projects.This way we’ll get a true picture of the scope of what Rotary is accomplishing, at the club level, district level, and internationally.We’ll provide the structure so you just have to fill in the details.Be looking for more information on this in the weeks to come.
But wait...there’s more!At the 2009 District Conference we’ll also get to hear from several NOTABLE people including the Rotary International President’s Representative; Dr. Mouzon Biggs, who has been a tremendous speaker at PETS for many years; and Gary Blair, Bryan Rotarian, and Texas A&M women's basketball coach.
