It's Tina Tuna here, the fish with legs bringing you the latest update on your Multi-District Conference with legs.
 
Now you're probably thinking: what the [bleep] does it mean for a district conference to have legs?
 
I'm so glad you asked.
 
It means the benefits will stay with you long after the few hours you spend at the virtual event April 29 - May 1. Benefits like:
  • Inspiration to build diversity, equity and inclusion in your club, and more
  • Information to help recruit and retain new members, and more
  • Fellowship (yes, it can be done online -- join in Thursday evening to see how!)
  • Fun including a trivia contest Friday evening, and Saturday's premiere showing of bloopers from the videos featuring Mermaid Charlene and Neptune Marc
Speaking of the lovely mermaid and Neptune, you can catch their latest video report here. (I've got a big part in it, too!)
 
When you turn off your computer at the end of the conference, you'll have a big leg up on the latest tools for building Rotary in your community.
 
But first you need to register. Click here to check out the schedule and meet the speakers. Or click here to go straight to the online registration form.
 
I promise you'll be hooked.

Multi-District Conference Coming Soon!
Our District Conference is coming up quickly, and we invite all to join! Please see below for some exciting highlights:

It's been over 30 years since Rotary undertook the massive challenge of eradicating polio worldwide, and just in the past year Africa has been declared free of wild polio.
 
So how close are we to the goal line and what will it take to get us across it?
 
That's what we'll learn from Rotary International PolioPlus chair Mike McGovern in the opening keynote address of our virtual Multi-District Conference, Thursday evening, April 29.

How did peace strategies learned in Thailand improve law enforcement in Philadelphia? And what does that mean for us as Rotarians in New England?
 
Join Inspector D. F. Pace for this provocative presentation on Saturday morning, May 1 -- the concluding day of our virtual Multi-District Conference.

Statement from Rotary International

Statement from Rotary International

At Rotary, we have no tolerance for racism. Promoting respect, celebrating diversity, demanding ethical leadership, and working tirelessly to advance peace are central tenets of our work.

We have more work to do to create more just, open and welcoming communities for all people.

We know there are no easy fixes and that challenging conversations and work lie before all of us. Rotary’s strength has long been our ability and commitment to bringing people together. We will tap into that strength now as we stand with those who are working for peace and justice. 

Rotary will do our part to listen, learn and take action to ensure that we continue to contribute to making positive change.

Rotary International Response to COVID-19
Rotary International Response to COVID-19

Rotary International is closely monitoring the pandemic of COVID-19, the illness caused by the novel coronavirus, and continuously assessing the potential impact on Rotary operations, events, and members.

Your health and safety are always our top priorities. 

In the near term, Rotary International recommends that districts and Rotary and Rotaract clubs meet virtually, cancel, or postpone meetings and events following the advice of national and local health officials. 

Rotary encourages members and their families to take precautions to protect themselves from contracting the virus by: washing your hands often and thoroughly, putting distance between yourself and others if COVID-19 is spreading in your community, and staying home if you are sick.
