The Ignite Classic Golf Tournament
The 2027 District Conference kicks off with a fantastic day on the course at the stunning Wine Valley Golf Course on Thursday, April 16, 2027.
Before the conference begins, join fellow Rotarians for lunch from 11:30 AM with golf starting at 1:00 PM. It’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, connect in a relaxed setting, and foster camaraderie and networking in a fun, scenic environment.
Whether you are a seasoned golfer or just looking for a fun afternoon out, this is a wonderful way to launch our weekend together.
Service Above Self: Food Packing
Building on our past success, we are partnering with Harvest Against Hunger and the Blue Mountain Action Council for a high-impact food packing project. It’s a wonderful opportunity to roll up your sleeves alongside fellow Rotarians, experience true fellowship, and make a meaningful difference for Walla Walla families facing food insecurity. Come join forces with us to turn collective action into a lasting community impact!
