District Conference –

• Thursday April 24 is a recreation day - golf tournament in the afternoon, a Hold'em Poker Tournament in the evening. Players must be registered at the conference.
  
• April 24 Friday night activity is a prospector themed western barbecue with hospitality provided by the clubs as in past years. Everyone will enjoy this casual event.
  
• April 25 The entertainment at the Saturday night dinner will be Mumbo Gumbo, a musical group that defies easy description. "Ask the members of Mumbo Gumbo what they call the music they've been developing for 16 years, and you're likely to get blank stares, confusion, and eventually, laughter.”
  
• Register for the event, then come and go as your time and interest dictates.
