The food was fantastic, and it was great to seemembers from so many other clubs. A big thanks goes out to those who helped organize the night. Thank you oneand all!!!

District conference on the weekend was great, and it was perfect weather for a weekend down the bay. Tthe highlightswere the backto the beach dinner, Mogo Zoo for Breakfast and Guest Speaker Ahn Do. Everyone I have spoken toseemd to enjoy it, and now we are looking forward to next years District Conference at Merimbula (October 11 to 13,2013).
