October 2014
Welcome to the October edition of Highlights. We hope your Rotary year is going well!
A key priority for the District this Rotary year is to facilitate the sharing of knowledge across the District of our great projects, so that we may learn from each other and optimise the investment of our time and resources in our activities. Earlier this month we held the District Vocational Service Seminar at which we showcased a number of excellent projects. Thanks to Vocational Service Director, Brian Tyedin and his wife Jenny for hosting this event. If you'd like to learn more about these projects, please contact Brian. On the 26th October we will be holding the District International Service Seminar, hosted by our International Chairman, Brian McDaid. Again, we'll have a great line up of projects and resources for your information. If your club has a great project that you'd like showcased at the District Conference, then please contact our Conference Committee to reserve a space at the Project Expo.
Let's Light Up Rotary!
