What a great weekend it was this past weekend in Yakima, Washington. There was 12 Rotarians and guests from our club that made it to the JUMP RIGHT IN! "Footprints, Fellowship & Fun" District 5060 Conference!

The number one and number two reasons why people join Rotary and stay in Rotary are for friendship and making a difference in their local community. This past weekend was a great opportunity to expand and deepen our network of friends. The keynote speakers and breakout sessions were focused on helping us to make a greater impact on our projects around the world.

I think everyone that attended would agree - from the Brews and Brats welcome event on Thursday, wine touring/hiking/biking/beer touring options on the Friday, home hosting on the Friday evening, the Banquet on Saturday and to all the amazing keynote speakers throughout the event - the conference was a wonderful time!

If you missed out on this event, please be sure to sign up for our next District 5060 Conference which will be taking place closer to home - April 28th-30th, 2017, in Kelowna. The Rotary Club of Kelowna has an excellent event planned for us so you won't want to miss their "Friendship and Fellowship" conference planned for next year!

Important to note - For about a week, you can get an amazing early-bird discount - only $190 CDN until the end of May (going up to $225 afterwards). No extensions! If you were in Yakima, I'm pretty sure you won't want to miss this. If you were not in Yakima, don't miss another!

Hope to see everyone there!
