The Melfort Rotary Club is getting set to host the Rotary District 5550 conference which will be a virtual event this year.
Over 250 Rotarians from Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and northwestern Ontario are expected to participate in the conference that runs from May 13-15.
District governor (DG) Gail Marie Anderson said the conference is typically hosted in the home of the DG but with restrictions in place, that sadly can’t happen this year.
“Our theme is family of Rotary,” Anderson said. “We still want a lot of interaction so that is why we are doing it on the Zoom platform so people can still have that sense of fellowship.”

Naquin. Brunet.
They’re coming from the tiny island of Isle de Jean Charles, about 26 miles southeast of Houma. The community is on the frontlines of that land loss, and about six years ago, the state received a federal grant on behalf of the residents to help them move to safety.
