About the Program

This year we are fortunate to have booked three amazing keynote speakers, see below. In addition, we will be featuring a series of 20 minute presentations by clubs in our district and district leaders which we are calling learning moments. 
 
Foundation trustee Brenda and membership expert Louisa will be with us for the entire weekend so there will be plenty of time to meet and converse with them.
 
Rotary's theme this year, Unite For Good, is no better displayed than in our district which brings together more than 1,500 Rotarians from two great nations to work together toward peace through service. As always, we gather together at the end of the Rotary year to celebrate our successes and plan for future years of service.
Please join us for fellowship, fun and learning.
