District Council

This evening was time to present at District Council - our last practice presentation before we head to the States, and the first time we've done the shorter version of our presentation.

As I gathered during the course of the evening, District Council is a quarterly meeting and Rotarians from all Clubs in the District are able to attend. It's a mix of updates from District officers and committees, but also voting on resolutions - and the debate that goes on before the vote! As a result it was quite a long agenda so we were in no doubt that we would have to stick to our shorter presentation when we got our opportunity in the middle of the meeting.

Fortunately there were no technical glitches this time round and there was no food to interrupt us! We were missing Helen today, who was at work, but Barbara did a sterling job of standing in for her. I think it went pretty well and I hope that those in the audience who've seen our earlier presentations would agree that it's come on leaps and bounds since our very first run, just over a month ago.

There were many faces in the audience that we recognised from previous presentations and it was a chance to catch up and say our farewells before we fly out in two and a half weeks time. Saying those farewells definitely made the exchange feel a lot more real - and it will probably be even more so after our last team meeting next week.
