The 2024 Northern California District Exchange Club Convention, despite early technical setbacks that had us “limping on one leg”, was a great success, highlighted by presentations from national figures like Mike Reichek, the 2024-2025 National Exchange President, and poignant sessions like Linda Carlson’s “In Memoriam.” The focus on revitalization in post-COVID club operations was explored through educational sessions and round table discussions led by key leaders including Region 1 VP John Blythe. Keynote speaker Lt. Bret Kwarta of the Red Bluff California Highway Patrol gave an insightful look into the life and duties of a CHP officer. The convention also featured spectacular performances in the “Search for Talent” finals and recognized exceptional young individuals with its Youth of the Year and A.C.E awards. The event was not only educational but also a celebration of community spirit, resilience, and the achievements of its members.
