Mark your calendars!
District Governor Donna invites all Rotarians to join her for a dynamic one-day District Conference on Saturday, May 30, 2026, at the 
Best Western Hotel in Keene, New Hampshire. We have been planning an energizing program filled with inspiration, fellowship, and hands-on service.

What’s Ahead at the Conference
Keynote Speaker: Dr. Randy Pierce
Prepare to be inspired. Dr. Randy Pierce will bring his remarkable story to the stage, sharing how he chose a life of
bold adventure even after losing his vision at age 22. His powerful message and unforgettable experiences promise
to motivate and uplift every attendee.

4-Way Test Speech Contest Finals
The top contestants from this year’s 4-Way Test Speech Contest will deliver their final presentations. These talented
young speakers never fail to impress, offering thoughtful and passionate perspectives that make us proud of our
future leaders.

District 7870 Exchange Students
Our exchange students will share their stories of learning, courage, and connection. Their heartfelt reflections will
make you laugh, cry, and appreciate the transformative impact of Rotary Youth Exchange.

Rotary Cares: Summer and School Support for Pine Ridge
This year’s District Conference will include a meaningful, hands-on service project supporting families on the Pine
Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. Together, we will assemble Summer Wellness Kits, Back-to-School Packs,
