"Good [morning], President [Name] and members of the Rotary Club of your club! One of my favorite parts of visiting clubs across District 5030 is seeing the impact you create right here at home.
Today I want to invite you to our District Conference, Ignite '27, April 15–18, 2027 in Walla Walla. Our theme: Grow Connection. Ignite Impact. Recharge Your Passion. Walla Walla in spring is walkable and vibrant, with great food and sunshine.
The weekend (tentative): Thursday — arrive and golf. Friday — a hands-on food-packing service project, our Annual District Meeting, and the opening reception. Saturday — inspiring speakers, breakouts, the House of Friendship, and the evening banquet. Sunday — closing plenary breakfast and program. Spouses and partners are warmly invited; many members make it a spring getaway.
Bring your whole crew. your club is already in the Bring Your Club Race. The top club in each size division — Small, Medium, Large — by percentage of members registered wins a $1,000 club service grant. Clubs also earn rebates: $100 at 5 paid registrations, $250 at 10, $500 at 15 — spots are limited, so early registrations count. Every member aged 23–35 adds a +1 bonus.
Your club's tools are at race.igniterotary.org/2027: check your live standing, click "Meeting Slide" for a ready-to-show slide, print a flyer with your club's name, and try the Savings Calculator. President, please name a Club Champion — the Champion Toolkit gives them scripts, newsletter words, and a step-by-step plan.
Early-bird registration is open at register.igniterotary.org/2027 — $369 through December 31 — and Marcus Whitman rooms are $199 while they last. Let's bring a big group from your club to Walla Walla. Thank you!"
