DISTRICT CONFERENCE.
Dear Fellow Rotarian,
In case you haven’t registered yet for the upcoming District Conference on the 4th & 5th November, this is a last minute invitation for you to consider attending.
It is a wonderful opportunity for inspiration, fellowship and personal development. You will be inspired by fantastic speakers including NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb, Tennis Star Jelena Dokic and Socceroo/humanitarian Craig Foster. There will be ample opportunity to mix with your fellow Rotarians from our District. And you will learn so much more about Rotary’s future.
It starts with a Friday night Cocktail Party, then Saturday breakfast and Plenary Sessions all day and a ‘Foundation’ Dinner on the Saturday night - all at the wonderful William Inglis Hotel, 155 Gov Macquarie Dr, Warwick Farm NSW, 2170
