To serve as 2007-08 President, attendance at a 2007 PETS is mandatory unless excused by the incoming District Governor, and a substitute attends from your Club.

Dress will be Business Casual for all events.

Partners are invited to all events. A PETS Partners special program is also planned. The DGN’s provided content and scheduling.

Registration forms are to be returned to the individual District Governor-elect PETS Registrars. Download PETS '07 session registration at top of page.

Lodging reservations are to be made with the Binghamton Regencyl & Conference Center, Binghamton, NY for Thursday, March 16 & Friday, March 17. Download PETS '07 hotel registration at top of page.

Club Size Break Outs are based on Club Membership on March 1 with Rotary International. Each Club Size Break Out will consist of 26 Clubs of similar memberships.

The Club Size topics will be:
1) Membership
2) Service Projects
3) The Foundation
4) Public Relations
5) Administration

Clubs will share their successes & discuss issues in these areas during their Club Size Sessions.

Why do we attend PETS: "Rotarians are not paid in cash but the payment for Rotarians time as Club President, AG, DG, and TRF is the satisfaction that comes from doing the job to the best of our abilities and seeing the results in the betterment of those who are not as fortunate as we are. PETS gives us the tools to help us do this successfully."

Top 10 Reasons to Attend PETS
10. Because I have to (no, I really want to!)
9. It’s fun sharing ideas while car-pooling to the Binghamton Regency
8. To see if everyone else sings as poorly or as well as I do
7. To find out what color the Governor-Elect’s Jacket is
6. To learn how to incorporate the ‘07-’08 theme in my Club
5. I heard from last year’s attendees it was a neat event
4. To hear the keynoter, Rotary International Director, Mike McGovern
3. To learn what’s new in the world of Rotary
2. To meet peers from other districts, and to share ideas
I wanted to make sure I was well trained so I could lead my club through a year to be proud of
