From the beginning to the end, the 2010 District 6950 “All Hands on Deck” Conference cruise was an incredible experience! I have so many highlights to share with you, that I think I could fill this whole webpage with stories and laughs… So instead, I would like to just share with you some photos and my top 5 favorite things about this year’s district conference. I hope every member of our Club is able to attend next year’s conference at the Tradewinds on St. Pete Beach. It is an incredible experience that is fun, exciting, and inspiring. I am so glad I had this opportunity…

My top 5 highlights of the 2010 District 6950 Conference–

1. The incredible people—I connected with Rotarians from all over our district and all over the world. I got to share in conversations and meals with old friends and new. I also received important wisdom and advice from new and long time Rotarians…
2. Rotary Programs – During the conference there were presentations on Rotary’s important programs both on the international and local scale. The presentations covered Polio Pus and Shelter Box, etc. I have to admit that I had tears in my eyes several times during the conference…not from sadness, but from the hope that Rotary provides worldwide.
3. Getting to know the Brazil & Chile Group Study Exchange Teams – Having been a GSE Team member 2 years ago, I truly enjoyed getting to know the two GSE teams from Brazil and Chile. Both teams have wonderful groups of people. With happiness I look forward to seeing the Chile team during their GSE experience in the next couple of weeks. With sadness I say good-bye to our Brazilian friends –but hope our paths cross again soon in life!
4. Krystal & CJ’s engagement – what more can I say? At sunset on Saturday night, one of our club members, Krystal, got engaged to a fellow Rotarian, CJ. We were all able to celebrate together and it was truly a magical evening! Congratulations you two!
5. Finally, and most importantly, I learned about the power of Rotary. I learned more about what it really means to be a Rotarian… From the people I spoke with, listened to, and connected with I have learned that the core of Rotary is sharing in love and friendship…

Three of our club members are attending the District Conference this weekend on a cruise in the Gulf of Mexico. For Hunter, Daphne and Krystal, the next four days will be spent soaking up some sun and fun onboard with fellow Rotarians and GSE Teams, as well as doing an onshore service project in Cozumel.

Bon voyage, ladies!

We had a nice turnout for our backyard cookout celebrating the GSE team from Brazil. It was a great opportunity to relax and get to know our new friends!
