Rotary District 6000 2015 Conference
The annual District conference is always a great way to learn about Rotary and what is going on in the District, youth exchanges, our internal and outreach programs, as well as Rotary International and Rotary Foundation initiatives.
It was great to see a big group of Washington Rotarians attend the keynote lunch presentation on Friday, April 17 at the Coralville Marriott. This was a great show of support for Rotary and for District Governor John Ockenfels.

Last summer, the club received a Riverboat Foundation minigrant for $800 for new equipment to use at our Turkey Dinner.
Thanks to Dennis Purcel, we also received an $800 grant from Walmart toward food supplies for last Fall's event. We are hoping to get another grant toward our food supplies for this year.
Auditorium
Terry Engelken reminded the club we have reserved $5,000 of the club's money to go toward the Auditorium project at WHS. We are planning on a $5,000 District Community Grant for a total contribution to the Auditorium of $10,000.
Ed Lins was also looking for more volunteers for a team to compete at the Hospice Trivia Night!
