·         Thursday, March 1 – Sunday, March 4, 2012 –The annual District Conference will be held Thursday, March 1, and run until Sunday, March 4, 2012 at the Pinehurst Resort. The conference is a weekend packed full of Rotary, friends, fellowship, food, free time and golf or the spa if you so choose. Last year’s event was one to remember and this year is slated to be even better. The best part of the conference is you can attend one day or stay for the entire weekend. It is also a great way to meet fellow Rotarians from District 7730. The speakers at the conference are some of the best that I have seen. This is a very worthwhile experience.To encourage participation in this event, the Club has designated $1,000 to help defer the costs associated with registration. The money will be available to all those who attend the conference and the allotted amount will be split by those conference attendees. Please see President Stacy for more details.

·         Thursday, March 15 – Saturday, March 17, 2012 ­– Carolina PETS (President Elect Training) in Greensboro, NC.
