4 Dear Fellow Rotarians and Guests. Please accept from June and I the warmest greetings for a successful and enjoyable Conference. District Governor Hisayoshi Nakamura and his District Conference Committee have worked hard to prepare a program of Rotary content and fellowship which we trust you will enjoy. Each year around 500 District Conference are held. June and I would have been delighted to attend every one but as you will understand this is just not possible. We have invited Past District Governor Takanori Sugitani and Kuniko to represent us. We trust that you will make them welcome and will appreciate their message to the conference. I have asked Takanori to stress the importance which I have placed this year in supporting the campaign to end the scourge of polio, in promoting our programmes in water, health and hunger, and literacy, in renewing our commitment to Vocational Service and strengthening our membership base. You and the Rotarians in your district have an important role to play. Indeed, The Future of Rotary is in Your Hands. Sincerely, John Kenny President, Rotary International 2009-f0
