Week 38, March 20-26, 2011

For those of you who have been club presidents you know how PETS training is both exhilirating and terrifying at the same time. PETS training for the 2011-2012 club presidents was just completed on Saturday in Greensboro. I know that some of the President Elects were almost overwhelmed but I assure you that most President Elects before you felt the same way. You are on a journey that will lead to one of your most rewarding years. I have to let you know that District 7750 was well represented. In addition to having your Governor and Governor Elect in attendance, your Governor Nominee and Governor Nominee Designee were also in attendance. Past District Governors Carol Burdette, Myles Golden and George Fletcher were trainers. The Plenary speakers for this year's PETS were outstanding. Winnie Morgan again treated us to her "Geese" stories but with new updates and twists. We were honored to have South Carolina's own Anne Matthews, Rotary International Trustee, to speak on Friday. Jennifer Jones, PDG from Windsor, Canada spoke on Saturday. We were truly inspired by these speakers. Next year's PETS will take place on March 15-17, 2012 so mark your calendars and prepare to "chip away" at your Rotary stone.
