District 6630 Rotarians and friends,
At the 2021 Multi-District Conference of Clubs, we celebrated your exemplary Service Above Self during the challenges brought on by the world-wide pandemic.
698 people from the four districts and beyond registered. Being virtual there was no charge and everyone who registered received a T-shirt to wear in celebration.
On Saturday morning the four districts covering Northeast, Northwest, Southwest, and Central/Southeast Ohio presented a program specific to their Districts. I highlighted how District 6630 Rotarians and clubs continued to lead by responding to the many challenges and opportunities the pandemic provided.
