Rotary district 1385’s district meeting and training was organized on 14-15 October 2023 in Sodankylä, Luosto, with the theme “Autumn festival in the land of the Northern lights”.
The district meeting of Rotary District 1385 was held in Luosto, led by DG Petri Keränen, and more than 70 Rotarians participated in the event. The event was great and inspiring, and on the first day, in addition to the official district meeting program and awards, we heard presentations from Sodankylä municipal manager Jari Rantapelkonen, Sodankylä Rotary Club president Riitta Virtanen, and space physicist Esa Turunen. The evening was spent in the wonderful surroundings of Jaakkola’s reindeer farm. On the second day, we continued with training and outdoor activities. Foundation, youth exchange, membership, and other Rotary matters were covered in the trainings. Thanks to IPDG Arja Saarento for a great fall party!
