Rotary Moment
Jonathan Evans brought us the Rotary Moment today, he told us about the Rotary International conventions:
Each May or June, Rotary International holds a worldwide convention "to stimulate, inspire and inform all Rotarians at an international level." The convention, which may not be held in the same country for more than two consecutive years, is the annual meeting to conduct the business of the association. The planning process usually begins about four or five years in advance.
The RI board determines a general location and invites cities to make proposals.
The conventions are truly international events which 20,000 to 40,000 Rotarians and guests attend. All members should plan to participate in a Rotary International convention to discover the real internationality of Rotary. It is an experience you'll never forget.
Guest Speaker
Today we reviewed and discussed our strategic plan for the next few years. Everyone provided great input and the discussions were very productive.
