District Conference A Plymouth Rock Solid Success!
It was a beautiful weekend in Plymouth, MA and the more than 200 attendees at our annual District 7890 Conference enjoyed every minute of it. The conference was ably led by our District Governor, Sue Klock, and had the stamp of her home club, East Hartford, all over it.
From the almost 25% portion of the attendees, to the swingingest Hospitality Room in the joint, to Sheryl O'Connor's leading the Ecumenical Service Sunday morning, to Larry Hangland's dance moves, to leading the Club and Member recognition, East Hartford Rotary was in the house!
What a way for Governor Sue to cap off an outstanding year in leading our District.
Enjoy the slide show below which captures just some of the good times. (Be sure to hit the full screen icon in lower right corner to get the full effect.)

Rotary International's 103rd International Convention: Celebrates Milestone in Eradicating Polio
On May 8, attendees at Rotary's 2012 International Convention in Bangkok, Thailand, celebrated two major milestones in the organization's decades-long fight to rid the world of polio: meeting and exceeding the $200 Million Challenge, Rotary's response to $355 million in matching grants from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for polio eradication efforts; and, India's removal from the polio-endemic list in February, which leaves only three countries where transmission of the virus has never been stopped.
