Quesnel Seminars a Success

istrict Assembly April 10 and Future VisionTraining April 11 Quesnel.

Last weekend I lead a training team for the annual District Assembly and the new Future Vision Training on the Rotary Foundation. This was the second of three weekends of training offered to Rotarians around District 5040.

The team included DGND Rebecca MacPherson, AG Liz Neave, AG Gary Gurnsey and YE Chair Petrie Neave for the Assembly and PDG Kevin Conway for Future Vision. Twenty one Rotarians from 100 Mile House, Williams Lake, Quesnel and Prince George participated in the two days of training.

Of particular note from the training and importance to District 5040 Rotary clubs are the requirement for certification for Rotarians involved in all programs with youth not just Youth Exchange; awareness of risk in our activities and the need to recognize and manage the risks; and club qualification for Future Vision in order to apply for matching funds from the District and The Rotary Foundation for humanitarian and educational service activities.

The warm hospitality of Quesnel Rotarians in home hosting visiting Rotarians and organizing a dinner at a local Chinese restaurant for the Saturday evening made for a wonderful weekend of Rotary fun and fellowship and fund raising for our Polio Campaign. Thank you to the Quesnel Rotarians for doing what Rotarians do best - enjoy Rotary.
