Note from Editor:
Here is a brief report from President Elect Neville Kruss in regard to District Assembly
Rotary District Assemblies are annual, multi-session training events designed to educate incoming club leaders, board members, and interested members on club administration, service projects, and Rotary policies. It is typically held in the first half of the year to prepare officers for their upcoming terms.
 
I attended the District Assembly on Saturday 23rd May. There were 7 45 minute sessions with a break after each session of 15 minutes. I regarded these sessions as invaluable and any Rotarian, especially any present or future Board member that did not attend did themselves a disservice.
The sessions were Skills & District Engagement,  Marketing & Communication,  Foundation,  International,  Finance Matters,  Youth Programs,  New Style Club Development  and Membership & Club Experience.  I found it very disappointing that the only other member from RCBMC that joined was Ian Ballantine who attended the Finance Matters sessions.  There will be a separate session for Secretaries later in a few weeks.
