District Conference in Dawson Creek. Fred reported on the conference.  The crew from Dawson Creek "hit one out of the park" with this conference which had amazing speakers such as Chris Hadfield, Sally armstrong and Alvin law.  As well, Rotarians assisted in packaging humdred of thousands of "Stop Hunger Now!" food packages that are destined for Nepal.  Overall, an amazing weekend was had by all that attended.  The message that District Governor Tim Schilds wanted to give to all was to "Please give to the RI Fund!" because it is that fund that makes much of what we do as Rotarians around the world possible.
