Registration is now open for the 2019 District Conference in beautiful Pictou County! In response to feedback from members, we have shortened the length of the entire conference to two days: Friday, May 10 and Saturday, May 11! Register Now at https://rotary7820.com/page/district-conference .
 
We will get an early start on Friday morning where we encourage all of you to learn more about your roles and responsibilities as Rotarians, as well as an opportunity to hone your personal leadership skills. We are excited to have the involvement of youth from our various programs which include Interact, Rotaract and Youth Exchange, as an active part of our program. Come and see what the future face of Rotary looks like!
 
It has been years since there has been a District Conference held in Northern Nova Scotia and the various clubs here are working hard to ensure that you have an experience that combines learning with fun! We have a line-up of inspirational speakers as well as an opportunity to hear the best music that Pictou County has to offer.
 
For those of you bringing your partner, we have a program planned for Saturday which will include the discovery of the hidden gems of Pictou, including a firsthand look at the living conditions experienced by the 200 plus folks on the ship Hector upon its arrival in Pictou in 1793.
 
I invite each and every one of you to be INSPIRED as to how you can S.H.A.P.E. your Rotary world to truly make a difference in the lives of people in our communities and across the world. We can do this though Strengthening our clubs…providing Humanitarian Service…being Aware of Indigenous issues….increasing our Public Image and finally providing leadership in Environmental Stewardship.
 
We have blocked out 150 hotel rooms in the immediate vicinity of the Wellness Centre and will be offering free bus transportation to and from the hotels in case you decide not to walk or drive. There is plenty of parking available at the Wellness Centre.
 
We look forward to seeing you in Pictou County this May!
