Rotary International Convention

Save the Date! The 2019 Rotary International Convention will take place June 1-5, 2019, in Hamburg, Germany. This is sure to be an excellent opportunity to enjoy fellowship and learn more about Rotary.

Our incoming District Governor, Kate Sims, will be attending a planning convention in San Diego very shortly. Kate wishes to obtain a rough count of those who are interested in attending the 2019 Rotary International Convention to discuss with other Governors.
