District Governor's Message

The District Conference is a key event in Rotary District 1160's annual calendar and the 2011 conference team in Limerick are developing a programme that will provide a meaningful and memorable experience for all Rotarians and visitors and that will provide great value for money. The conference is being hosted by Limerick Thomond and Limerick Shannon Rotary clubs and we are honoured to be able to host you in the historic, diverse and creative City of Limerick.

As we will be celebrating the centenary of Rotary in Ireland from February 2011, we have chosen Rotary, The Next 100 Years - A Life in the Service of Others as a working conference theme. This theme is inspired by the statement attributed to Albert Einstein that "only a life lived for others is worth living." The conference will showcase the work done at home and abroad by Rotary clubs in our District and we will also celebrate the centenary of the Rotary Clubs of Dublin and Belfast. High profile speakers will also be present to celebrate and put in context the work that we do as Rotarians.

I am indebted to our joint conference chairmen Pat Kearney of the Rotary club of Limerick Thomond and Thomas Hardy of the Rotary club of Limerick Shannon and our committee for their work and commitment to produce a memorable conference.

I wish you all safe travels on route to District Conference 2011 and I look forward to greeting you in Limerick September 2011.

P. G. Callaghan (Barney)
District Governor
District 1160 (Ireland)
