The District 5580 Convention was held at Cragun's Resort near Brainerd, MN October 2 - 4, 2026. As the Jamestown Club President, I attended the conference as our Jamestown representative. I was able to meet with fellow Rotarians from around the district seeing a few familiar faces and making connections with some new ones. A lot of discussion surrounded growing membership, increasing current member involvement, and the Rotary Youth Programs. I attended workshops titled "The Art of Gathering," "Steady Leadership in Changing Times," and Membership. Next year's District Conference will be held in Detroit Lakes, MN. I would love to bring more attendees from our Jamestown Club next year so we are able to attend more of the great break-out sessions to bring information back for our club.
