The Texan Connection - District 9800 and District 5840
Rotary District 9800 is proud to start a global partnership with Rotary District 5840 in Texas, USA. A new partnership in 2010, we are excited about the exciting opportunities that exist with such an exchange. We hope that clubs here in our district and clubs in District 5840 can start a communication that will strengthen and grow our local support to our communities, as well as our efforts internationally.
In addition, the Group Study Exchange this year will occur between these two districts adding to the opportunities of sharing information:
