Please let me be one of the very first to wish you and yours a very happy holiday season! Our Rotary year lift-off is going well and my big ask of all of you is that we continue accelerating right to the end of the Rotary year ... shoot for the stars rather than drop back to earth! Later in this eBulletin you can download our Mission Control Center and see what your club is doing and also what it is missing out on.
RotaryFest 2020 registration will go live in mid-December! June 19-21 in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin ... save the date and schedule a weekend get-away to RotaryFest! Fort Atkinson can't wait to meet you, your family and your friends! Everyone is welcome! Space will be limited for some events (Golf Tournament, Fireside Broadway Show, Sky Diving, Bike Tour, 10K, etc.) so don't wait until the last minute! District Conference? Of course! Transportation? Bus captains will be bringing RotaryFest "party" buses from select cities, pilots can fly in with courtesy cars available, if your City lies on the Rock River :) ... boat or pontoon slips available! This is going to be a lot of fun! Don't miss it.
