Spent this past weekend at District 9980 Conference in Cromwell. The conference theme, “Make Dreams Real” connected to many of the keynote speakers’ talks. Christine Rankin, the CEO of the For the Sake of Our Children Trust, and a highly controversial politician. She passionately spoke about child abuse occurring domestically. Also, Phil Kerslake, a cancer survivor who is now a life and career coach, told his story of life after cancer.
Myself, Leah, and Michael, the Ambassadorial Scholars for the district gave a brief presentation, introducing ourselves to the district. The slide above shows our sponsor rotary districts and our host district in New Zealand. It was a great opportunity to meet other clubs from all over Otago and Southland. It was also an amazing Saturday night: a delicious dinner followed by a night a dancing. I learned that the district took the notion work hard, play hard to heart. The X factor band, a kiwi great kept everyone on their feet. Was also able to see of the sights of historic Cromwell and downtown Clyde. It’s a beautiful countryside with orchards, vineyards, and picturesque lakes. I will be posting conference pictures soon!!
