Into July

It amazes me how fast time it going by. I have so much yet to learn.

In the past couple weeks I have attended meetings on training, district simplified grants, conference facility for next year, board of Rotary's Camp Florida, my club and tomorrow I am the guest speaker at a club in Sarasota. No grass growing under my feet, that's for sure.

I received the names of the final four DGN's from Zones 33 & 34 and have contacted them about coming to the class dinner at Zone Institute at the end of September, first of October. So far we have 40 people coming out of a total possible of 58. (DGN + Spouse or Guest). Only one DGN has elected not to come at this time and I have four to hear from yet, so I am expecting somewhere between 45-50 in our group.

I have also been assigned the task of being the district resource for TRF Future Vision. My job is to learn all I can as the program goes through its three years of beta testing so when someone has a question, hopefully I will have the answer.

This Thursday we visit the first property we are evaluating for my conference. Such a long way off but things need to be locked in early. I tell you, the property where the conference is being held next year is going to be hard to beat. It was build as luxuary condos and then the housing market crashed so they turned it into an upscale resort. The rooms are HUGE and beautifully appointed and the prices are very reasonable. Maybe we will think about a return engagement there in two years????

In my next post I think I will list, just for fun, all the little jobs I have received as DGN so you can get an idea what may come your way if you take the step forward in district leadership.
