We are scheduling 5 Multi-Club/Multi-Area Luncheons in different geographic locations within the District. The schedule for each meeting available is listed below.
We will be asking Clubs to cancel their meetings the week they plan to attend the Multi-Club Luncheon that fits their needs best (if possible). If your Club is unable to change your meeting date or place, we will expect the Leadership, Membership and Public Image Teams from your Club to attend one of the Multi-Club Luncheons.
The Meetings will be Lead by DG Gerald. We are asking members begin checking in at 11:30 AM to allow time for fellowship and getting lunch, so the actual program can begin at Noon.
A detailed program and meeting planning explanation will be available next week.

Grow Rotary! Grow Impact! Grow Engagement!
Last November, Governor Gerald Robinson announced two e-club initiatives for District 5790. The intent of these initiatives is to allow the formation of two e-clubs in District 5790. One e-club will focus on former youth program participants and the other e-club will focus on community programs. Both are intended to provide a Rotary service vehicle for those whose travel and business commitments inhibit participation in one of the 71 community based Rotary clubs in our district.
