DISTRICT
CONFERENCE 2025
Peace in Motion
We are honored to welcome you home to Asheville, North Carolina, for our 2025 District Conference here in Rotary District 7670. As we gather in this beautiful mountain town, we are reminded not only of the strength of our community but also the resilience we share in the face of challenges.
In the wake of Hurricane Helene, many of our Rotary families and neighbors have faced difficult times. But, as always, we have come together to support one another, embodying the Rotary spirit of "Service Above Self" and truly putting Peace in Motion. It is in moments like these that we see the true power of our fellowship and the incredible impact we can have when we unite for a common cause. Please join us May 9-10, 2025 as we reflect on the lessons learned from such trials and look ahead to the many ways we can continue to make a difference, not only in our communities but around the world.
Thank you for your continued dedication to service, and for your unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Let’s make this conference one to remember, filled with inspiration, collaboration, and, of course, action.
