May 16-18, 2008 -
District Conference and Leadership Team Training/District Assembly, Marquette, Michigan April 3, 2008 Dear Rotary Club Presidents: Greetings from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We look forward to welcoming you and your club members to our District Conference here in Michigan, recognized as a Cool City, May 16-18, 2008. Our community is excited about having Rotarians here to celebrate the good works of Rotary. “Rotary Shares” in Marquette will be a great experience for you. We offer interesting plenary sessions and superior recreational opportunities for your “OFF” time. Take a tour of beautiful Marquette, do some shopping or take a relaxing walk on our beautiful Lake Superior beaches. You could play golf, rent a bicycle or visit the National Ski Hall of Fame, Iron Mining museum, Children’s Museum, Maritime Museum and Lighthouse or the Marquette County Historical Museum. Following the
plenary sessions of Friday there will be a Cocktail Hour and an Action
Station Dinner (Tastes from Around the World) at Northern Michigan
University. President Les Wong will welcome us all to
Northern Michigan University. The highlight of the
evening will be a promised special RYE variety show. After the plenary sessions of Saturday morning and
luncheon you can explore our City and Country during your time off.
In the evening put on your “dress-up clothes” for an elegant
Governor’s dinner at Northern Michigan University.
This is preceded by a 5 pm Cocktail Hour with elegant music by Luminesse,
the entry and Presentation of colors led by the U.S. Coast Guard and a
parade of Past District Govenors. Our featured speaker for Saturday evening is Sarah Houghton, a former RYE student, who will tell us the background of what, how and why of the Etta Projects and what lies ahead for them. Find out who the ROTARY SHARES recipients are from the clubs of this district. Dance the remainder of the evening to the lively music of the Westerly Winds Big Band. Sunday morning will have the Ecumenical and Memorial Service directed by Pastor Ray Connor. This will be followed with the closing remarks of Stephanie Urchick our Rotary International Representative. Please ask yourself and your club members, “ARE YOU GOING TO MARQUETTE?” We sincerely hope your answer is “YES”. Rotary Shares, Maynard Bower
