The Trip – 8 May 27/47
After our long day, we were given most of the morning off. It was great to recharge the batteries after such a long trip the day before and also to get to know the Canadian Team. Lunch was at the conference venue followed by the opening ceremony. It is interesting to note, that like any district conferences, it was late before it started, and a number of the speakers went overtime, or at least took up their allotted time.
The conference was opened by a government Minster, and addressed by the RI rep Thomas Branun. He had some interesting thoughts. With a mini break, with both dancers and a local band, the keynote speaker Prof Oliver Saasa who talked about development in Africa.
Other items at the conference included, membership, new clubs, and the younger sections. Interestingly the club with the largest growth in the district was Zimbabwe!!!
In the evening we were all hosted at five different functions run by the five clubs in Lusaka. It was well organized and promoted fellowship.
