Week 30, January 23-29, 2011

This is going to be a great week in Rotary! Our Mid-year Assembly is this Saturday in Greenwood. We have an outstanding program lined up for you. You do not want to miss it. President-elects, DGE Gary Goforth is just back from International Assembly and he is anxious to get everyone off on the right foot. You do not want to miss Pre-PETS training this Saturday following our morning program. I am excited to have three and maybe four Rotarians from this district accompanying me on the NID trip to India on February 23. It is not too late to sign up for this once in a lifetime experience. I know that I am going to take another rather large chip out of my Rotary rock. You will have the same experience as I. It is time now to purchase your tickets for the Stop Polio Cold event on February 18th at the Greenville Road Warriors ice hockey game. Thanks to the hard work of Judy Prince and Charles Warne and their committee, this is really going to be a Family of Rotary event! Be sure to purchase your tickets on the district website. Remember also that for each ticket sold, your Rotary club will get $2 toward its PolioPlus goal of $2000. Two other significant events in the life of District 7750 have also occured this week. The Indian Land club has chartered an Interact club at their high school. This will be just in time for the state convention that we are hosting. I am also really excited because all of Betsy Schroeder's hard work as District Conference chair is starting to take hold. Thanks to Terry Weaver's diligence and assistance, our website is operational and you may now register for the conference and reserve your room at the Embassy Suites. This is truly going to be Beach Blast 2011: A Family of Rotary Event. Gather your children and grandchildren and head to the beach May 13-15, 2011. Get those shaggin' shoes out of the closet because you are going to need them.
