Cheyenne Hosts District Assembly

On Saturday, District 5440 held its spring assembly at Cheyenne's Little America.  District Governor-Elect Ken Small, Rotary Club of Jackson Hole, shared his vision for the coming year.  The assembly also provided opportunities for education, inspiration and training.  Club member and Director Brittany Ashby served on a panel discussing "What Do Young Professionals Think About Rotary?" and PDG George McIlvaine served on a panel on fundraising.  Past Presidents Scott Meier and Roger Schreiner both participated on a "Best Practices for Club Foundations" panel.  Other breakout sessions focused on membership, new members, youth programs, grant qualifications, and the eradication of polio.  Rotaractor Lindsey Acheson, from Fort Collins, provided the keynote address titled "Eradication of Polio: My Experience with India's National Immunization Day."  Despite the challenging weather and road closures, more than 100 Rotarians from Wyoming, Colorado and Nebraska attended the one-day assembly.  Cheyenne will host the fall assembly scheduled for October 3 at Little America.
