The District Changeover Dinner was this past weekend.  My thanks go out to the Rotary Club of Canton, NY, and to the Canton Best Western Hotel for hosting the event and making it so much fun. Special thanks go out to Bonnie Black(Tech Support+), Dale Kramer(MC), Sonya Butler(Hotel POC), plus Ron Patnode, Mike Crowe, Anna Van Adrichem Rochon (Photos/YouTube), my wife, Susan, and many others from Canton Club and the District for setting up the event. As part of the festivities Hadi Mortada DG-Elect, Fay Campbell DG-Nominee, and Martha Weaver IPDG were all installed via a pinning ceremony. See YouTube video https://youtu.be/fkX-BGHvSJc.
My attention will now shift to working with the Area Governors to set up my DG Club Visits between now and December along with the District Conference.

Friendship exchange-l'échange d'amitié
Posted by Fay Campbell

Friendship exchange is a great way to meet new Rotarians and see the good that they are doing in the world. It is a great way to discover and enjoy new cultures while staying in the homes of local Rotarians. We may also find opportunities for partnership on projects.  

I would encourage all the members in the District to consider a Friendship Exchange. It is a rich, eye-opening experience, that can lead to wonderful friendships.

L'échange d'amitié est un excellent moyen de rencontrer de nouveaux Rotariens et de voir le bien qu'ils font dans le monde. C'est une excellente façon de découvrir et de profiter de nouvelles cultures tout en séjournant dans les maisons des Rotariens locaux. Nous pouvons également trouver des occasions de partenariat sur des projets. 

J'encourage tous les membres du district à envisager un échange d'amitié. C'est une expérience riche et révélatrice, qui peut mener à de merveilleuses amitiés.
