District Foundation Dinner

Thanks to everyone who came out for our very much delayed District Foundation Dinner. Believe it was well worth the wait. Thanks to keynote speaker, Trustee-chair Bill Boyd, we are now armed with both a three-minute elevator speech about TRF but also have stories for coffee breaks and lunch!
Check out the district website for more about that.
Chez Josef did a great job. And the Foundation Dinner Committee, chaired by PDG Bob MacDonald, ensured the event ran very smoothly.

We did show the conference promo video. If you have not seen that yet, you can view it on our District's Facebook Page. If you do not have access to facebook, it's also available directly on youtube, just click here on movie.

January Wrap Up

This month has flown by -- from the NEPETS Planning Committee meeting, first Saturday of the month,to Northeast Link meeting, third Saturday, for outbound GSE teams from northeast districts, and, of course, events just for District 7890 and our clubs, I have been on the go. Adding to the busy-ness, planning for the NID Team's trip to India. We head out February 14th. I will be with my valentine, aka Peter, on a 14-hour flight from Newark to New Delhi. We are so excited that we will be able to attend a two-day polio summit near the end of the trip. Also, in addition to the three to four days we will spend vaccinating children in rural areas outside Kolkata, we plan to spend a day at a clinic providing LN-4 "hands" to amputees. If you do not know about this miraculous Rotary project, check out their website. I will be bringing a hand to Mid-Year Presidents Meeting on Feb. 7.
I hope to return on February 28th to good news, i.e. record-setting registrations for the district conference. Please sign up now. Registration form is available as a download from our District Website.
Right now, I am in the midst of a series of conference calls with club presidents. These calls are intended to keep us all in touch, to help answer questions which arise, and to remind clubs through their presidents of important events coming up.
