District Assembly

This is a reminder about the District Assembly scheduled for 21 & 22 April and that District Assembly is a great

resource to expand Rotary knowledge as well as provide, hopefully, some guidance and learning for you and your

incoming Boards for 2012-13.

Where: To be held at the Canberra College in Phillip ACT

When: To commence at 9.00am on Saturday 21 April with focus talks on Rotary programs.

Assembly to commence at 12.40pm following lunch at 12.00 noon.

Assembly is scheduled to conclude on Sunday 22 April at 1.00pm followed by a light lunch.

Dinner: A dinner is organised for Saturday 21 April and will be held at the Southern Cross Club

cost $42 p.p.

While the program is not yet finalised some important presentations include insurance and the responsibilities of

Club Boards in relation to insurance, planning for your Club through Visioning, E Club opportunities, Foundation

Future Vision, and Child Protection requirements. We may also have an opportunity to improve your origami skills

with a workshop on making peace cranes!

Assembly is not just for incoming Boards but hopefully all Rotarians, and especially new Rotarians, will gainsomething from attendance at District Assembly and therefore I would encourage Members of your Club to

register. Registration should be available shortly and can be made through the District website. Assembly is also an

opportunity to mix with other Rotarians from around the District and exchange ideas, meet new friends, or just catch

up with old ones. I also see it as an opportunity for me to meet more Rotarians from around District 9710 and to

share Rotary International President Elect Tanakas theme for 2012-13 of Peace Through Service.

Joke of the Week

I returned from my normal round of golf late last Sunday and my wife asked me why I had been solong.

"All was fine "I said "until at the 11th hole, Fred had a cardiac arrest and died on the spot."

"That's terrible" my wife said.

"No kidding. For the rest of the round it was a case of hit a shot, drag Fred, hit a shot, drag Fred".
