District Conference Rotary Pays Off ! An outline for Power Point slide presentation for Rotary District 5890 District Conference 2009 This presentation is designed as an interactive session with club members. Some questions may seem very basic but this is necessary to get the audience (new and old Rotarians) involved . Conceivably this outline could be used (with just a little adaptation) without the power point slides The presenter should take registration forms and pens or pencils with them and take the time during the presentation for interested Rotarians to fill them out If payment options are not available at the time of the presentation we can invoice them once we have their registration commitment. Primary persons that are strongly encouraged to attend District Conference are the president and the president elect. However, we should encourage all club members to attend as a group.
