The 2013 District 5400 Annual Conference was held at the Sun Valley Resort May 17-19. Over 250 Rotarians, spouses and friends participated in the event. Featured speakers included John Brainerd, Past District Governor from California and the Rotary International President's Representative, Nourha Restrepo from Uruguay representing the United Nations, Dr. Lisa Brady from Boise State University on the subject of the DMZ in Korea, and Kurt Bowen with an update on the Semilla Nueva project in Guatemala.

To have fun with the Conference theme of "Peace", the Friday night dinner was a 60's costume affair. Some very creative looks were very entertaining! Saturday afternoon recreation events included hiking, biking, learning to make pizza, wine tasting and more. A series of round table discussions were arranged on subjects such as internet and social media, membership, grants and the Rotary Leadership Institute.

Awards were given to outstanding Rotary Clubs and many people were the lucky winners of raffles and silent auctions. The Sui Valley Resort always treats District 5400 Rotarians as Royalty!Image
