District Conference 2018 Update
Mark Your Calendars and Start Planning for a Long Weekend in the Sun...
When: Friday April 27 through noon on Sunday April 29
Where: Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort ( a Hilton hotel)
Registration Cost: Up to April 1 is $245 per person, after that it rises to $275 per person.
Some key information:
- For folks that arrive a day early on Thursday, there is the low country Boil on Thursday evening. Our Club has historically had people arriving on Thursday to set up our exhibit in the Hall of Friendship. This year because Clubs will not be setting up exhibits in the Hall of Friendship, Clubs are planning separate dinners on Saturday evening.
- The first official event starts at noon on Friday.
- District Hospitality Suite will be open 24x7 from Thursday evening through Sunday morning.
- To see full details regarding the Conference (i.e. registration fees and announced activities), and be able to register for the Conference, click on this link https://rotary6900.org/conference.
- Finally, we want to know who is planning to attend, and who won't be attending. Please send an email to otness_r@mindspring.com indicating whether you will or will not be attending, and if attending how many people (including yourself) will be attending with you. This information will help us in scheduling Club specific activities during the District Conference.
Membership
Recruit a Friend by Sharing Rotary Experience
The Club needs more members just like you. So how do we find them? It starts when you realize that you know someone who, like you, might enjoy being a member of Rotary. Remember that people you like tend to like many of the same activities as you, and share at least some of your values. They would like Rotary for the same reasons that you do.
You are a Rotarian, so someone that you like will almost certainly turn out to be a good Rotarian. The first step is to share with that person why you like Rotary, and why you feel that they also might enjoy being a Rotarian.
- How do we get new members? By allowing your friends to participate with you.
- Who needs to do it? You
- When to do it? No better time than now
- How to do it? That is easy … follow these 5 simple steps:
- Think about the people you enjoy being with
- Share with them why you enjoy Rotary
- Invite them to participate with you in a Rotary project
- Bring them to a meeting and introduce them to your favorite Rotarians
- If they exhibit an interest in being a part of Rotary, introduce them to Fred Brandt (Membership Chair)
That's it. Give it a try. You will be surprised at how easy it can be share Rotary.
Rotaract 50th Anniversary
The year is 1968.
A wall divides East and West Berlin, as the Cold War rages on. The U.S. and the Soviet Union are locked in a space race, and Apollo 8 becomes the first manned spacecraft to orbit the moon, sending back pictures of Earth from deep space.
And Rotary members in North Carolina, USA, and Mexico City, charter the first Rotaract club, to provide young people opportunities for service.
A half-century has passed since those first Rotaract clubs began inspiring young leaders to take action to improve their communities. The world has changed, as has the way Rotaract members connect with one another. But the underlying values of the program, and what attracts people to it, remain remarkably the same.
To celebrate Rotaract’s 50th anniversary, we asked former Rotaractors from six decades to share their experiences of the program and explain how it shaped their lives.
