Hey! This new blog idea is really cool! I want to reinforce DG Don Kremer's remarks about the recent District Conference. This was the sixth one I've attended, and it was certainly the best. I went to the first Rotary Academy (ironically at the same hotel in Visalia). It was a flop. I was the only new Rotarian there and they didn't know what to do, so we stood around in the lobby for a few minutes. That was it. At this DC, 70 people attended the Academy. It was good to see. Don gives a lot of credit to Bob Eurich, as he should. But I am here to tell you that it would not have been nearly so effective with out Don's vision and the hard work he also put into it.

One other comment: If we members don't avail ourselves of the opportunities to get involved with Rotary - and there are plenty of them in our District, then I believe they miss a lot of the point of our outstanding organization. It seems to me that if the membership isn't involved with the life of the organization, then we run the risk of having just a weekly breakfast club.

Anyone care to comment?
