We and all of you have embarked on the adventure of a lifetime. We have attended the Rotary International Training Session in San Diego, so we are ready to help all of you become well-prepared club presidents in 2016-2017.
 
How can we get ready to say in July 2017 that this was the best Rotary year ever?
 
Please put these President Elect Training Session dates on your calendar. If this is the first time you have seen these PETS dates, please contact us so we can update your contact information, at pwdoyle2@verizon.net.
