In February, I was invited to
participate and speak at the district 1030 Rotary Conference in Leeds. It was a wonderful opportunity and it wouldn't have been made possible if Phil
Hopps (District 1030 Rotary Foundation Committee Ambassadorial Scholar Coordinator) had not so graciously volunteered to drive
Misa (ambassadorial scholar from
Japan) and myself down to the conference and likewise look after us all weekend. The conference was very well organized and we heard from an amazing speaker during the Saturday afternoon session.
Misa and I also presented during the Saturday session, but luckily we had already finished before he began his speech, so we were no longer nervous and could really enjoy it. I think everyone wanted to buy his book when he was finished. Everything about the conference was great. The food was delicious and I think
Misa and I tried every desert that was offered. :-) The city hall
which
held the conference was beautiful and we were also able to meet the traveling
GSE team from Idaho! I was very honored to be invited to participate in the conference and
Misa and I enjoyed ourselves and were able to meet many wonderful
Rotarians. (We even danced with several at the
Saturday night dinner dance) Thank you district 1030! (For reference to the photos in
this post, the first picture is of
Misa and myself with 1030 District Governor George Craig and his lovely wife. The second is of
RIBI President Peter Offer and the third of Phil
Hopps, our wonderful host for the weekend!)
