Starting with a casual pulled pork and chicken dinner Thursday night, the conference escalated to celebration of the life lived by Vern Nielson, our district governor who succumbed to cancer in February, and a celebration of Rotary. After a free day to explore, tour, wine taste, etc. we all enjoyed the hospitality of the Friday night home hosting in various Rotarians around the valley. Saturday was filled with inspirational speakers, including some who were impacted by Rotary as a youth. Break-out sessions in the afternoon were followed by the more formal dinner that evening had us laughing and in tears, and feeling proud to be a Rotarian. The Sunday morning send off was filled with the youth exchange students (more tears), and a preview of next year's conference in Prosser, which will May 17-20. Get it on your calendar now, and check it out at the 2018 Conference web site.Attendees were Jim & Carol Adamson, Wayne & Karen Massing, Lisa Parks, Mansour Ravassipour, Jim Huffman, and Lucas (our exchange student).
