2008 District Conference
Linda and I would like to invite you to the 2008-2009 District Conference, October 24-25, at the Hilton Concord, California.
The conference theme is You Make the Difference, You Make Dreams Real. We believe in the work of Rotary and the work of Rotarians. Rotary changes lives every day, and it does it through people like you. You Make the Difference. Whether it is a local community project, your participation in an International project, or your support of The Rotary Foundation through the annual giving program, You Make the Difference.
We are privileged to have a strong set of speakers who have seen the value of what Rotary can do. Speakers like Past R.I. Presidents Cliff Dochterman and Rick King, as well as Jean Irwin, who teaches deaf children how to speak in normal tones, and Deepa Willingham who founded Pace Universal with the goals to nurture the educational, health, nutritional, social and cultural development of girls in impoverished areas of India, and to build in Calcutta the first prototype Piyali Learning Center (PLC) to serve as a model for the delivery of these services all over the world. All these speakers will remind us of the impact we have on people we may never meet, the difference we can make.
And you and your spouse can make a difference at the conference in the project center where Interact members will teach you how to assemble the LN-4 prosthetic hand, or you can knit AIDS bears for distribution in East Africa, or you can help assemble quilts for Rotaplast projects.
Mark October 24-25 on your calendar. Come to our conference, and let's work together to make a difference.
Thank you,
Jim and Linda Campbell
