COME SAILebrate!
D7090 Rotarians
Hear ye hear ye!
Have you hear about our fantabulous different venue for our District Conference in October? Perhaps you have. However, in the event you haven't read more and let’s join to make this an event of COMRADERIE and Rotarians Sailebrating the good we've accomplished!
Help spread the word of Rotary & its good work around the world. Consider this a re-union with family & friends. Or take the opportunity to celebrate a significant birthday or anniversary.
Some of us are using this event to celebrate our anniversary - Corinne and I will celebrate our 55th anniversary. We are thrilled to be able to celebrate it with you.
