GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE

Multi District Conference is Fast Approaching

By Pat and Skip Doyle

Greetings to all District 7910 Rotarians. Join us on April 28 through 30 in Providence.
 
As you all know, the 2017 Multi District Conference is fast approaching. We have a great weekend planned with fantastic world-class speakers at the event. As we have said, it is an"international" convention that does not require a passport or an airplane ticket.
 
On Friday at 12:00 noon, District 7980 is sponsoring a Paul Harris luncheon. Rotarians from District 7910 are invited to attend. This will be followed by an opening ceremony with break-out sessions.
On Friday, April 28 at 12:00 noon, we will have a Paul Harris Luncheon, followed by the Opening Ceremony with Break-out Sessions. For those of you who have purchased the full weekend package, there will be a cocktail reception with Rotary International President John Germ (second from right) and his wife,Judy Germ (far right)(They are shown posing with Skip Doyle, far left, and Pat Doyle, second from left).
 
John Germ will also be the keynote speaker for our Dinner on Friday. At the end of that event, we will be invited to Providence’s famed outdoor attraction, WaterFire (shown, left). To download the WaterFire fundraiser brochure in PDF format, click here.
 
During Breakfast on Saturday, April 29, we will have an enthusiastic motivational speaker and Rotarian, Michael Angelo Caruso (shown, right). You may want check him out on YouTube. Breakfast will be followed by 45-minute break-out sessions on many topics as well as individual district business meetings.
 
Rotary Means Business will hold an event on Saturday afternoon. All Rotarians and their guests are invited to network and then stay for Saturday evening dinner, featuring Lauren Templeton (shown, left),  president of Templeton and Phillips Capital Management, LLC, and co-author of Investing the Templeton Way and the Maximum Pessimism Report.
 
Sunday, April 30 will feature a time to honor deceased Rotarians. That ceremony will be followed by a brunch with aninternational flair, featuring Rotary Exchange Students from the four districts as well as a Group Study Exchange team from Australia. The GSE team’s focus is peace and conflict resolution.
 
A top-quality event such as this does not come without expenses. That is why we encourage you and your club’s Rotarians toregister early. The District Conference Committee has just approved al la carte pricing for Rotarians who cannot attend for the entire event. To register for the Multi-District Conferenceclick here.
 
District 7910 Rotary clubs, businesses and Rotarians will also have the opportunity to sponsor the Multi District Conference in more than one way. First, with an ad in the magazine-style event program. These can be a small as one line with a personal note from an individual Rotarian, to different-size ads of up to full-page. To download theProgram Ad Rates in PDF format, click here(Note: The ad-rates offer is exclusively for individuals from Districts 7890, 7910, 7950, and 7980, and does not apply to either Rotary clubs or businesses. )
 
The Conference Committee is also looking for Gold, Platinum, and Signature sponsors for the WaterFire event. To download the Sponsorship Donations form in PDF format, click here.
 
Thank you very much for the moral and financial support over the past year. Rotary International, District 7910 and we are very much appreciative. No one can do alone this job of district governor. We all need each other to make this a successful Rotary year for our communities, clubs and members - as we continue to follow RI President John Germ’s theme for this Rotary year: Rotary Serving Humanity.
 
Thank you again, we look forward to seeing everyone at the Multi-District Conference in April in Providence.

 REMEMBERING OUR ROTARIANS

Michael Schweiger, Framingham
 

 Before he made a name for himself in the hotel industry, longtime Framingham resident Michael Schweiger made a fateful journey across Europe. At age 11, he was forced to flee his boyhood home in Germany, traveling through Italy to reach safety in Palestine.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Dr. Morton Wolf, Dedham

“Doc,” as he was affectionately known, was a local veterinarian for more than 50 years. Active in many civic organizations, Doc was a beloved Rotarian who for more than 30 years was recognized by all who knew him as a kind, gentle and dignified man - always ready to lend a hand. Dr. Wolf, who was 95 years old, will be dearly missed by all his family and friends. The funeral services and sitting shiva took place on January 30.
 
 

 OUR PRESIDENTS SPEAK


Steve Jones-D'Agostino, Auburn Rotary

 
Please tell us what factors helped you decide to join Rotary?
 

Satya Mitra! He kept "Rotarying" me until I finally submitted! (Just kiddin', Satya.)
