Its only been 3 days!

We are currently in the Adelaide Hills area and have had a fun-filled last 3 days. The team arrived in Adelaide on Tuesday night and had our first vocational day on Wednesday in central Adelaide. Wednesday afternoon we had a brief visit to the museum, where the team learned about Aboriginal art and culture. Thanks for the tour Anah and Tim! On Thursday the team traveled to the Adelaide hills and met with our new host families. The hills are a bit colder than expected, but even more beautiful than imaginable! The team attended the opening night of the District Conference and will be presenting at the conference on Saturday morning. Today (Friday) was filled with visits to local businesses, including Steriline Racing, Pftizner Furniture, and Udder Delights cheese factory. It was really great to learn about the Adelaide Hills Regional Development Board from David Harvey. Tonight we will be heading to the Adeliade central market for dinner. We are all having a great time, learning a ton, and taking lots of pictures (we will post them all soon).

    As a Rotarian who is in the Marketing Commmunications business I was asked to host Laurel for a morning .... on her first full day in Adelaide.

    After a coffee to get her kick started and offset some jetlag we had a great meeting . She was able to provide some advice on a presentation we were preparing and a proposal we were doing for a major prospect.

    We were able to share ideas and trends in the business and especially talked about our major focus in developing the use of Social media tools and strategies. Given we trail the US in this area there was much talk about.

    I hope and trust the time she spent with was as valuable as her input.

    With some plans to use Social media to boost the Rotary image in our district I am sure we will share many more ideas in future.

    And I will send her the Grumpy Old Managers Guide to Social Media eBook which we wrote to spread our message far and wide during her travels.
