District Conference Speakers Set

It is my pleasure to provide you with information about the outstanding group of speakers that Governor Nick and the Conference Committee have arranged to have present at our 2016 District Conference in Galveston, from April 28 to April 30, at the San Luis Hotel, Spa and Conference Center.

 

 Rotary International President Ravi Ravindran has selected PDG Charlie Rogers of the Rotary Club of Celebration, Florida to be his President's Representative to our Conference.  President's Rep Charlie was District Governor in 2000-01, has had perfect attendance for 37 years, and has received the Service Above Self Award, the Citation for Meritorious Service, and the Distinguished Service Award.  

 

Rotary International Vice President Greg Podd will also be with us on Thursday evening and Friday, and will speak to us on Friday afternoon, after lunch.  His topic will be "Rotary:  Where Are We Now, Where Are We Going and How Do We Get There."  It is quite an honor to have the Vice President of Rotary take time from his busy schedule to visit us, and we look forward to having a chance to meet with him.

 

The Keynote Speaker of the Conference will be DGE Michael Angelo Caruso, of the Rotary Club of Troy Michigan.  He will be the speaker at our Friday Luncheon.  Michael has been a Rotarian for 20 years but, by profession, he is a professional speaker who teaches presentation skills, and has spoken to Rotary and non-Rotary audiences in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, the Caribbean, 49 of the 50 states, and many of his talks have been pro bono performances for Rotary, including his address to us.  His topic will be "How To Engage Someone In 15 Seconds."

 

Also joining us from District 5910 will be AG Kent Hutchison of the Rotary Club of Nacogdoches,who will address the Conference on Saturday morning about "Opportunity - What Rotary Means To Me."  Kent has been the trainer for all of the Assistant Governors at P.E.T.S. for many years, and is truly an inspirational Rotarian.

 

Finally, we will hear from Dr. Isis Mejias Carpio, a former Global Grant Scholar, who has worked extensively with The Rotary Foundation and our district on several water projects around the world, Alexis Castellon, a former Child of the Dump in Chinandega, who is now attending medical school in Nicaragua, and about a number of different activities going on in our district both from the podium and in the Exposition.

 

Our 2016 Conference will truly be a Rotary Conference, with information and fun for everyone.  So, visit the district web site, www.rotary5890.org, and sign up for the Conference from the Welcome Dinner on the evening of April 28 through the Governor's Gala on Saturday night, April 30

Community Outreach through Parades and Floats

Sam Parker, a fellow Rotarian with the Houston Club, will speak to us about how he got into this business and how the parade floats and business help promote community outreach and spread your message through a fun and entertaining venue for all types of demographics. He will speak to us about the different types of parades and how they impact the community and bridging generation, gender, and cultural gaps from holiday to educational to county parades, etc.  Sam has the only parade business in Houston, and his stories and anecdotes are very entertaining and educational.
