2012 will mark a very important change to our District
Assembly and District Conference. For many years these two events have
been combined; however, in 2012, Assembly and Conference will be split
into separate events. District Assembly, being renamed "Accelerate
Rotary", will be held on Saturday, February 11, 2012 and the
District Conference will be April 27th-29th.
Our district was one of few throughout Rotary that
combined these events. The purpose of Assembly is to prepare for the
upcoming Rotary year that beings in the following July.
Conference is a celebration of the year that is coming to a close.
These changes will allow us to provide exciting and informative training
at "Accelerate Rotary" and to showcase the great work being
done across the district at Conference.
We are excited to invite ALL OF YOU to these events!
"Accelerate Rotary" is
a planning and learning session that will get you ready and fired up for
the next Rotary year! This one-day event is mandatory for all
Presidents-Elect and strongly encouraged for all district
Rotarians. If you're new to Rotary or just want to know how to get more
out of your Rotary experience, "Accelerate Rotary" will provide
you the tools to be better Rotarians and more effective leaders of your
club's efforts. "Accelerate Rotary" will be held
February 11, 2012 at the Topeka Holiday Inn Holidome.
"Celebrate Rotary 2012 - Light the Fire of
Leadership" will take place April 27-29, 2012.
Last year's conference boasted 151 attendees from 33 different clubs!
This year our goal is 200+! Mark your calendar for this opportunity to
join other Rotarians who share your passion to make
an impact in our communities at home and abroad. There will be golfing,
social hours, a banquet, nationally recognized key note speakers, a
message from District Governor John Vandewalle, and INSPIRATION! Join us
April 27-29, 2012 at Prairie Band Casino & Resort.
Yours in Rotary,
