Our much-anticipated District Conference on Saturday, April 5, 2025, at the beautiful Terrace-on-the-Park, was a huge success. Nearly 130 District Rotarians joined us on a day when we celebrated our shared successes, honored our clubs and strengthened our vision for the future.
It was a conference to remember. One of our District's young leaders - Raaid Ahmad, Membership Chair of the Sunshine Rotary Club - successfully delivered an outstanding keynote address that was appreciated by all and has so far garnered over 1100 views. Twelve Clubs presented their projects, the presenters being recognized by a Magic of Rotary medal. Plaques were also given out to District officers and Board members, recognizing them for their service. Tributes were paid to those of us we lost during the year.
DG Syed Alirahi spoke about the accomplishments of the District, including bringing in 139 new members, but we also lost over one hundred members. One new club was chartered. Charter applications for one new Rotaract club and three Interact clubs are pending.
A colorful printed District directory was distributed among the attendees after three years. It is a comprehensive publication, containing a pictorial depiction of the year's activities, contact information of all District officers. Contact information of officers of all clubs, along with pictures of their respective presidents, is also part of the directory. The directory was printed at no cost to the District.
