Subscriber, I had
to privilege of attending the Team Training
seminar this past Saturday. It was good to put
a face to the Rotarians who've traded
correspondence with me over the past eight
months. If you're a President, or
President-Elect, be sure to tap the very
valuable resources of your very dedicated
District Team.
As the District
Conference draws near, please remember I'm
asking for your help with media (video,
pictures, anything) to be used in the
presentations. Thanks! -- Ken Ivey

G'day
The Aussies are coming....
What a Great Opportunity to taste the
International flavor of Rotary. If anyone in
you Rotary Club would like to host a Rotary
Couple from our Sister District in Western
Australia please consider being a host. At this
time we are trying to finalize our
arrangements.
You will find attached an agenda, hints to those
who may host and a form to submit your
willingness to host. Please look this over
and consider this great opportunity to show
"Rotary Shares". As I've experienced in many
years in Rotary I find being involved with the
International aspect of our programs is so
rewarding. If you can't personally open your
home consider allowing and encouraging others in
your club to do so.
As you'll see we have many side trips planned
while they will be in West Tennessee April 23-28
to entertain them. The host may join in these
events if they wish or just allow our guest to
attend allowing the host not to feel that they
are responsible in entertaining our guest for 5
days. The couple may be shared by others in
your club if needed, but we suggest not to move
them more than once (two hosts) 2-3 day stay so
they don't have to move a lot for that is
inconvenient.
Please consider this great opportunity. If you
have any questions please feel free to contact
me, 731-668-9851.
Thanks,
Glen Vanderford
