The Spectrum - April Rotary District 6710 Newsletter

As you know by now, on May 21-23, 2010, we'll be hosting our Annual District Conference in Spencer County, Indiana. There is something for everyone in Spencer County including historical Spencer County, Indiana

attractions such as Lincoln's boyhood home and Holiday World. We are excited about the format change that is intended to create a family-centered event involving spouses and children, other family members, and Interact and Rotaract members in most aspects of the conference itself. We are inviting our Rotarian's family members to play an active role while at the conference. Here are some examples of how they will be involved:

Spouses and/or 12 years or older children will be serving as Conference Sergeant at Arms
Children 5 years of age or older will be leading us in prayer, pledge to the Flag and the Four Way Test
Spouses, teenagers, Interact and Rotaract members will be serving at the conference registration desk
Spouses, children, and Interact and Rotaract members will be packaging up the food canned goods in our "Service Above Self" project to supply a food pantry that serves the poor
Spouses and/or children 12 years of age or older will be entertaining with their musical talents.
Spouses and/or children 12 years or older will be a part of the Sunday Memorial Service

We're even planning extra "fun" activities for the kids including a scavenger hunt! Those interested in serving in any of the above areas may contact Don Dykman, Conference Committee member, at (502) 226-1948 or by e-mail at dondykman@aol.com.

Also, District 6710 is proud to be offering online registration and payment options for the first time this year. Complete online registration information, as well as a link to download a paper copy of the registration form are available on our district website at

Although your clubs members may be aware of the conference, please make a special effort to announce the conference at your club meeting each week. It takes repetition for things to sink in! Consider sending an e-mail to your club members including the conference details, or print extra copies of the paper registration form to hand out at your club meetings.

This conference will be one-of-a-kind, and you don't want to be the one who looks back some day while others are recalling the memories and thinking, "I wish I had been there!"
