On Saturday April 19th District 4890 had their 81st District Conference at the University of Belgrano. All seven Ambassadorial Scholars were invited to present themselves to their host district, and share with them our future endeavors in Buenos Aires. The district itself is made up of 42 clubs that reside in the Capital, and range in membership numbers from 9 to 265. For us scholars it was a wonderful opportunity to introduce ourselves and thank the rotary clubs of Buenos Aires for the warm welcome and their contributions to the scholarship program. In addition to a short presentation, I awarded the governor, Carlos Roberto Matalon with an Arch Klumph Medallion. Thanks to Arch Klumph and his ambitious dreams to create the Rotary Foundation of Rotary International, us scholars have been given this wonderful ambassadorial opportunity to be in Argentina. Also, I'm fortunate to have such an important Rotary figure be not only from my state, but also from my district club, because everyone I meet in the Rotary world knows of Ohio. I suppose it really is the heart of it all, Rotary including.
Like a proud father, Willie stood in the front taking pictures and smiling throughout all of our presentations, so thanks to him I've been able to post a few pictures. The first one is of the governing committee and guest speakers for the event. The second is of my presentation, and the third is of the US scholars and the governor. For anyone who may be interested in learning more about my host district their website is http://www.rotary4890.org.ar/ and it does have an English link.
