Thank you to all those who attended our District Conference and Community Expo at Central Penn College on April 1
st. We were pleased to host 124 total registrants in addition to 40 participants for our STOP THE BLEED© classes hosted by Penn State Health. The vision of the conference was to expand our reach by involving community partners as exhibitors and faculty. In total 18 organizations offered partnership opportunities for our clubs. These partners will be added to our “speakers bureau” at
https://rotary7390.org/Page/speakers-bureau so you can reach out to them not only for speaking opportunities but to partner in service!
At the evening dinner we presented club members with several District Awards including:
- Lifetime Achievement Award - Bob McClenathan, Rotary Club of Lancaster for 25 plus years of Rotary Service locally and internationally
- Outstanding Service Award – Nigel Foundling, Rotary Club of N. Lebanon for outstanding service with the District Club Grants process
- Dogged Pursuit Award – Meg Ramey and Duke Adams for their work with Hop on the Bus and their dogged pursuit of raising funds with other District Clubs for the purchase of a bus to transport students in Liberia to school!
- District Governor Public Image Awards – Brenda Carrigan Wilbur (Red Lion – Dallastown Area), Bim Arthun (West Shore), and Shaun Eng (Harrisburg) for extraordinary public image efforts in expanding the reach of Rotary.

A big THANK YOU is extended to Dodie Wise, Rotary Club of Carlisle-Sunrise on her generous bid of $3000 which won her a limited-edition print signed by Darren Jones brother of RI President Jennifer Jones. RIP Jennifer directed all the 2023-2024 District Governors to auction the print off and donate the proceeds to Polio. Dodie is doing just that. Thank you Dodie for your generous contribution.
