Do yourself a big favour (as Australian hero and St.Kilda tragic Molly Meldrum always said) and Come to Conference! Why? Well let's ask Ian Bentley! Glenferrie Rotarians will join with Hawthorn Rotarians on the Friday evening for a convivial evening at a local restaurant in Horsham just before the main event. This message to members from the President of Rotary Hawthorn expresses the Rotary Conference experience so well. Once you have experienced a Rotary conference, you will want more. Here's why….
The Rotary Conference Experience : President Ian Bentley, Rotary Hawthorn
The last time a District Conference was held in Western Victoria, it was in Warrnambool, where sixteen representatives from our Club attended. I remember that conference well, not just for its fellowship, but for its education, entertainment and inspiration. The RIPPR (Rotary International President’s Personal Representative) challenged us to use the event to develop our own “elevator pitch” for Rotary: what would we say, in a minute or two, that explains what Rotary is and why it matters?
It is a good question to revisit. What does set Rotary apart from most other charitable and humanitarian organisations?
