Rotarians from district 9213 concluded the three-day 99th Rotary District Conference (Discon) last Saturday at Speke Resort Munyonyo in an award-winning dinner, bringing style and cheer to a blend.
Under the Great Gatsby theme, the dinner that doubled as the governor’s banquet was a showcase of fashion, appreciating flapper dresses, fascinators and body socks for the ladies and a black-tie affair for the men, with a few notable statement tailcoats in sight.
