Rotary District 5300 Governor Roger Schulte and First Lady Paulette cordially invite you to the 2011 District Conference.  It will be held in the incomparable coastal community of La Jolla, California.  The cool pacific climate, four star amenities, and quiet ambiance make this an ideal conference location. Check into a gorgeous, newly-refurbished hotel with a top-rated chef who studied under the renowned Michael Mina, a staff that goes above and beyond attending to our needs, and all the excitement that has been built in by your creative conference committee. Please join us as we build unforgettable memories and lifelong friendships with:
