District Conference
This year’s Rotary District 6600 Conference will be held at Maumee Bay Resort Center from April 28th to April 30th. Set in the midst of a 1,850-acre state park, Maumee Bay offers not only the finest of recreational facilities but also a unique natural environment created by the convergence of the land and Lake Erie. The balance of recreational facilities with the natural world gives visitors a diverse experience in a coastal environment. The lodge, cottages and golf course are nestled among scenic meadows, wet woods and lush marshes teeming with wildlife. It is a beautiful, relaxing place!!

HEART WALK

Have you ever experienced heart problems?

Has a family member of yours ever experienced heart problems?

Has a friend or business/professional associate ever experienced heart problems?

In all likelihood, you answered “yes” to one or more of the preceding questions…

If so, perhaps you’d like to work on this year’s American Heart Association “Walk” to take place on Saturday, May 13, 2006.

I have been asked to chair this year’s event. A good committee structure is in place, but we need to recruit some other committee members to help plan and make the event a success.

We also will need walkers on May 21st. Perhaps you would like to form a “Team” of 15 walkers, collect at least $150, and participate in the event that way. There will be a breakfast at Sweet Basil’s, T-Shirts for those who raise $150.00 or more, and other prizes. The “Walk” will take us to Kingwood Center and back. It is a fairly easy course, one that just about any of us can complete!

If you are interested in participating in any way, give me a call at 419-756-6878 (or email me at ddaugherty6@neo.rr.com) and let’s talk about it.
