Dear Members,
District Assembly is a time that we all come together - 61 clubs in District 9780, to focus and educate our members in preparation for a new year. There is an opportunity to meet others, hear about the latest developments and learn about your role in Rotary.
I remember my first District Assembly, just three years ago. This is a good place to begin to understand that we are more than 48 people in one community - more than 2,189 people in one district, we are 1.2 million people in one world!
We hope to have a good contingent of members, particularly those who are new to Rotary, attending the Assembly this year.
Richard Grimmett
