April 8, 2005 - District Assembly (Click here for registration form)
This year, we are trying a new, state of the art facility at the St. Petersburg College Epicenter.  Though it is a little farther south than we normally go, you will find easy directions on the registration form and it really should not be too far with the Expressway and I-275 directions.  Start time this year is later at 9:00am to give you some more travel time. There are longer breakout sessions this year, with information that you can use and take back to your clubs.  We will also be introducing the new District and Club Database program ( www.dacdb.com ) that is free for all the clubs and will make the job of the secretary much easier next year. 

The hands-on training with computers will make everyone an expert before you leave that day! For anyone who would prefer to spend the night prior, there is a Holiday Inn Express quite close by.  Please call 1-888-465-4329 or 727-536-7275 to make a reservation. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call or email, Brenda Wendt, Rotary District Secretary
