As you know by now, the theme for the 2018 Rotary District 7390 Conference is “Celebrating Rotary Super Heroes of our Past, Present, and Future!” Attendees will be invited to dress in super hero attire for Saturday evening festivities. There will be prizes and recognition for the best costumes. I, myself, am looking for my super hero persona and I need your help. If you have creative talents or literary skills, please suggest a super hero name for ME ~ your District Governor, Una Martone! Email your suggestions to me at umartone@leadershipharrisburg.org with Super Hero Name in the subject line. I will select one of the names and PAY FULL REGISTRATION for the winner to attend the District Conference on April 27-28 (not including hotel stay). Your suggestions must be received by February 28th in order to be considered. It’s a bird; it’s a plane; it’s ???????
If you were a super hero, what would your super powers be? As Rotarians, we have MANY super powers! We are The Eradicators, eradicating polio from the face of the planet. We are the Fearless Super Readers, bringing literacy to youth everywhere. We are H20 Masters, bringing water to the farthest reaches of the world. We are Professor Peace, advocating for local, national, and global solutions. The Rotary District 7390 Conference will celebrate many super heroes of our past, present, and future.
Meet Super Rotarian, Evan Burrell, who is making a difference by leaps and bounds! Meet local Rotarians whose efforts seem to go beyond the boundaries of mere mortal accomplishments.
It's a jet. It's a plane. No, it's ROTARY! Super powers will activate on Friday, April 27 at 10:00 a.m.!

The Four-Way Test Essay contest in District 7390 was initiated in 2006-07 by the Rotary Club of Mechanicsburg-North in the 9thgrade at Cumberland Valley High School. The winner of their 2007-08 contest presented her essay at the District Conference and was well received. The 2008-09 District Governor challenged other Clubs to have contests in their local schools and agreed that if multiple Clubs did have contests, he would have their winners vie for District honors and prizes. The Clubs responded and three prizes were awarded in 2009 and 2010 with the first place winners presenting their essays at the District Conference.
Approximately 20 Clubs in the District participate in the Essay contest, but why not every Club? Then every 9th grader in our District would know something about Rotary and our 4-Way Test. Think of the positive effect this would have on their lives, Interact Clubs, the public image of Rotary, and the future of Rotary. If your Club has not already indicated interest in the Essay contest for 2017-2018 please contact District Chair, Steve Grubb at stevengrubb@comcast.net.
The deadline to submit your club's winning essay to the District is March 2, 2018. You can find more information about the essay contest by clicking here.

Extensive planning is underway for the annual Rotary Youth Leaders Conference (RYLA). It is the responsibility of the Club President or designated RYLA Conference Chair to submit completed registration forms and fees for your Club’s candidates no later than May 5, 2018 to Melissa Bruck at the Rotary District Office, 515 South George Street, York, PA 17401-2723.
Again, the goal of the District RYLA Conference Committee is to have each Rotary Club in the District be represented by at least one young man and one young woman at the Conference. If the Rotary Club serves an area that has more than one high school, the Club should select at least one male and one female student from each high school. Last year more than 135 students attended! We hope to better that total in 2018. Please attempt to have an equal balance of young men and women.
RYLA will be held Sunday, June 10 to Thursday, June 14, 2018.
REMIND YOUR STUDENTS - THEY MUST ATTEND THE ENTIRE CONFERENCE FROM REGISTRATION THROUGH THE CLOSE OF THE FAMILY NIGHT BANQUET!

A DAY OF SERVICE is an opportunity for clubs all over District 7390 to come together and engage in that practice which is at the core of our common identity – that of service. We have set Saturday April 21 as our date for this year and we are proposing that each club identify a service project that they would like to undertake that day and then to carry out that project either within their own club or in cooperation with other clubs around them.
