7610 District Conference

Our team had the privelege of attending the District 7610 Conference in Fredericksburg, VA the last weekend in April. It was a great opportunity to learn more about Rotary, to get to know the members of the District and to spend time with the incoming team from Poland. We would like to thank the District, the GSE Committee, the Rotary Foundation and all of those present who made us feel so welcome! We look forward to meeting more Rotarians upon our return when we will be available to make our presentation (with hula if requested) at the clubs in the District.

Here are some pictures from the conference:

This is our team and the incoming team from Poland with Lester Schoene, GSE Chair. Back Row: Renata, Seth, Jacek, Lester, Ann, Piotr, Karolina; Front Row: Tomac, Sara, Jerry.

The next two pictures are from our presentation that we made at the District Conference and will be repeating in Rotary Clubs in Poland. Seth is our very talented ukelele player and taught us the hula. If only we'd known it was so easy to entertain Rotarians we would have planned more singing and dancing. Jerry's club especially enjoyed seeing him doing the hula. (These pictures may NOT be used for blackmail.)



We really enjoyed getting to know the incoming team better. It was exciting to hear more about Poland and their hometowns, some of which we will be visiting. We became close friends and that increased our excitement to travel to Poland and get to know more Polish people as well as the culture.





The keynote speaker at the Paul Harris Dinner on Saturday night was Representative Jo Ann Davis, representative for parts of District 7610 in the US House of Representatives. It was great to hear her speak and meet her following the dinner.
