First, a special thank you to everyone who worked on our fabulous district conference. It was a great success and that was because of the many, many people who spent so much time planning and carrying out the event. Thanks, too, to the 500+ people who attended and are now bringing information back to their clubs and communities and working to "Make Dreams Real"! You can get links which will take you to photos of the conference at http://rotary6440.blogspot.com/2008/10/photos-available-for-viewing.html.
We're now beginning Foundation Month. Please try to schedule a program about The Rotary Foundation at one of your weekly meetings. Ron Hamelberg (ronnan660@aol.com) coordinates those speaker requests. It will be helpful to your membership if someone from your club can attend Estate Planning in Uncertain Times on November 20th (http://rotary6440.blogspot.com/2008/10/estate-planning-seminar-november-20th.html). Although representatives of The Foundation will be presenting, the information will be useful in any estate planning.
As in the past, our district has a program to match contributions to The Rotary Foundation's Annual Giving Fund ( http://rotary6440.blogspot.com/2008/10/rotary-foundation-match-program.html). But this year's program ends December 31st, so act quickly to take advantage of the match.
I visited 50 of the 71 clubs in our district by the end of October and have been amazed at how different each club is. I am thoroughly enjoying the education I'm receiving and look forward to visiting the other clubs. All visits should be scheduled by now. If yours is not, please contact Kristina, our district administrator (admin6440@gmail.com).
