Just another day in the life

06-24-25 Rotary International Conference Day 3

June 24, 2025


This may be just a lot of photos and videos as today seemed three days long. I enjoyed my breakout sessions, had so many chats and connections, laughs and apologies (from Americans), and requests to take a picture of the back of my shirt (the one with Rotarian ‘at work’ crossed out and ‘at play’ written in)

The opening session speakers were remarkable! I loved hearing their passionate tales of overcoming polio and cervical cancer, two completely preventable diseases now.

David Keyes, our District Governor Elect, and I had several great chats and I mentioned that I loved seeing us describes as People of Action. I dared to add that We are people of actions rather than Facebook Reactions.

The session started and ended late so I booked it over to the HOF to see Over the Moon perform. I could only stay for one song as I needed to eat. It was great to see and hear them again

My breakout sessions were extremely interesting and I look forward to applying them at home.

We all met up for a bit in what has become our living room before heading to the Peace Park for a hands across the border moment followed by a District 5080 photo with as many as we could muster. Poor Heidi had a bad asthma attack when she ran to try and make the picture

The evening finished off with 5 of us in the VIP (included food) and 3 in the regular seats for the Rotary Western Showcase, complete with barrel racing, bronco riding and more. I was mad to have missed video of the hoop dancer.

My favourite pic that I’ve taken this week. The showcase winners
