October 28-29 - District Training Assembly in Osoyoos , BC. This is especially good for officers and committee chairs. Our club will reimburse the registration fee. This is a great resort about 2.5 hours north (just across the Canadian Border so take your passport or enhanced driver's license). Rates in Canadian currency, which is a great deal for us. Take your significant other and spend a couple nights. Check it out and register here.
You won't want to miss the District Conference April 27-30. Location is the beautiful Grand Okanagan Resort in Kelowna, BC. Register (at least $100 deposit) by October 30 to have a chance for our club to win $1000 for a project of our choice. Great speakers, and wonderful fellowship with Rotarians from all around our district. Again, we get Canadian prices, and the club will reimburse the registration cost. Check it out and register here.
