“All Quality Clubs, Everyone Involved” Full Belly Project This week at the Carter Center in Atlanta, the most famous peanut farmer in the world got an in-depth look at the “Full Belly Project” peanut sheller…. Rotaract at UNCW 2006-07 District Rotaract Chair Sean Desmond and John Grimes of the Wilmington Rotary Club have been hard at work to revive the UNCW Rotaract Club.

Many thanks to our very able team of Assistant Governors for your participation and leadership this weekend; to Lee Dixon for your excellent job in leading session #1 on “Roles and Responsibilities” and to PDG Johnny Robertson for giving us a glimpse of our Membership Enrichment Program to be held this September…. Presidents Meetings – Planning Guide For Effective Rotary Clubs Please attend your area Presidents-elect meeting with your Assistant Governor and complete the “Planning Guide For Effective Rotary Clubs” by May 31 so that I can have them before I go to the RI Convention in Copenhagen.

After a Friday afternoon of focused Rotary planning, we were then invited to Bevin and Pam’s home for relaxation and fellowship where our hosts prepared a delicious dinner for us. We appreciate Pam and Bevin’s generosity not only in offering their conference center but also in sharing with us their home and gracious hospitality…. All those attending PETS are invited to a VIP Reception to meet RI President-elect Bill Boyd, Rotary Foundation Trustee Ray Klinginsmith, and RI Director Ken Morgan on Thursday evening, March 16th, 8pm, in the Imperial Ballroom, Sheraton Four Seasons in Greensboro.

Dear Rotary Presidents-elect for 2006-07, I want to thank you for the commitment that each of you has made to your Rotary Club to attend PETS on March 17th — 18th and to LEAD THE WAY in your community in the year ahead…. If you were at the District Governor’s Official Visit this past summer, I have already had the opportunity to meet with you about our proposal to have each Rotary club to contribute $10 per member toward our effort to improve District Conference and make it more affordable for our Rotarians.
