District 2030 Congress

Sat., June 9, 2012 - Today we attended the District 2030 Congress (same as our District Conference) in Torino.  Their District Congress is one day rather than three.  After the many Rotary Clubs that we have visited in Alessandria, Aosta, Genova, and their surrounding areas, it was very nice to see many of our Rotarian friends.  Although the speeches and slides were obviously in Italian, I find that I am doing better with interpretation.  The goals and activities of Rotary are the same in any language.

After a wonderful lunch al fresco, our good friend and GSE Chair Bartolomeo Berello guided us through our presentation before the Congress.  Four members of the Italian GSE team were also present on stage, with Andrea "#2" speaking for the group.  We would like to thank District Governor Antonio Strumia for providing interpretation during our presentation.
