Rotarians from 115 clubs converge on San Marcos from May 2-4 for a bi-district conference titled “A Celebration of Districts.” District 5870 serves Central Texas from Austin to Hillsboro and Corsicana. District 5840, which includes San Marcos Rotary, serves South Central Texas from Del Rio to Kyle and west to Junction. The Embassy Suites Conference Center in San Marcos hosts the event.
This is the first time the two Rotary districts are meeting together for an annual membership conference. The goal of the joint meeting is to share a wider range of experiences and ideas about what Rotary is doing now, and new possibilities for the future. Kristen Salazar, San Antonio, is the Governor of District 5840. She said, “This special gathering is a time to celebrate our shared achievements, deepen our fellowship, and ignite inspiration for the journey ahead.”
The business part of the conference begins with a welcoming message from San Marcos Mayor Jane Hughson. On May 3, Rotarians are partnering with San Marcos School Fuel to pack bags of weekend food for San Marcos school children. It is a tradition of Rotary to do a service project at each annual conference.
