On Friday, we played Rotary Jeopardy and on Saturday we played Who Wants to be a Paul Harris Fellow.
| | Resources | We rented a set that had three contestants and used a computer and LCD projector to display the questions to the Jeopardy contestants. We did not need any additional materials for Who Wants to be a Paul Harris Fellow.

| Club Name | | | Country | Canada | District | 5050 | | Training Audience | District level | | Type of training | Leadership Development, Incoming Officer | | Best Practice | At our District Assembly we hold a targeted session for the PNs with the DGN. We offerred that for the first time in 2006 and it was VERY well received by the parties.
In 2007, the PN class requested more training earlier in their PE/planning year than what we historically offerred. That historical Training was a 1-day Pre-PETs session just after International Assembly and then our 3-day Multi-District PETS.
We developed a series that we called KINDER-PETs (like kindergarten!). This consisted of a series of emails either from the DGE or the District Trainer that started in September, and were sent about every 2 or 3 weeks. The email contents were single topic introductions of ideas or specific topic training, and they were also archived on our District website.
| | Resources | email, District website.
Rotary information like the ABCs of Rotary were a great resource for the item topics. | | Results | We found we were able to hit the ground running at Pre-PETS and the pre-training ensured all the PEs had the same basic information as a starting point.
