Ahead of us is the farewells and the final Plenary as well as some other great speakers I am sure....this has been one of the most wonderful experiences outside of my family experiences....no one can prepare you for the Internationality of this wonderful Organisation, all the worlds DGE's and their partners in one place all sharing a common goal...where else can so many people from so many countries with the same Peaceful, Service goals meet without knowing each others language but who communicate so much and so well...Rotary is the Premier Service Organisation I have no doubt of that, I have entered to learn, but am now biting at the bite to go forth to serve....
Its 7.52am here, so am now going to get ready to go and grasp every ounce of knowledge to enable me to do the best I can when I get home...
.More later after I have experienced all of this and of course the farewell dinner
footnote
This has been one hell of a day, one to remember forever, and on the last plenary sesion myself and James my GSE classmate and DGE featured on the screen as a photo from the day before...signatures available later folks!
The day was without a minute hestitation brilliant, friends have been made for life and the experiences in many ways change the perceptions of Rotary in my own mind so now the owrk begins, I have a story to tell and plans to make work...after I get back from some r and r in Las Vegas that is....
I'll add photos of al the week perhaps at the airport when I have spare time, one thng here is that time is not something that is spare...its a full on 12-15 hour day and you know it at the end of the week....but I loved it and have alot to be grateful for....thanks all who voted for me to be DGE as its really now the wonderful journey i thought it might be..
