Mid-Year Assembly Helps Leadership

District Trainer Deborah Bowen asks that you please mark your calendars
for January 31st (Saturday) for the District 7680 Mid-Year Assembly at
the Charles Mack Citizens Center in Downtown Mooresville.

Registration is 8-9 a.m. and the session for all attendees is 9 until
noon.

Who should attend?  All current club leaders, future club leaders, those
who 
wish they had more Rotary knowledge, and new Rotarians.....in other
words, the mid-year assembly is for everyone!!

District events are a great way to learn more about Rotary, get fresh
ideas 
from other clubs, hear what the key focus areas are from our district 
leadership team, gain even more enthusiasm for Rotary, and learn ways we
can make a difference together.

Flight of Honor Needs Our Support

Our Rotary district needs our immediate support with our Flight of Honor
project to take WW II veterans to Washington, DC on Saturday, April 18,
2009.  

Over half of the 52 clubs in our district have agreed to recruit and
sponsor veterans for the flight.  However, we are about 100 days away
from the trip and only have about 30 veterans (WE NEED 100) in the
process of being registered.  Many clubs are seeking funds from outside
the club to help with their fundraising efforts.  You can find more
information and print out the veteran application at our website:
www.flightofhonor.org <http://www.flightofhonor.org/> .
