Take a Rotary Vacation!
 
Where can you meet and mingle with 40,000+ Rotarians from 130 countries?  At the Rotary International Convention, hosted in Atlanta Georgia on June 10th – 14th, 2017.  What you’ll find there is a statement recently expressed by the College of Idaho Rotaract President at a recent club meeting, “We’re more alike than we are different”.
 
If you register by December 15th, you’ll receive a reduced rate of only $340.  After the 15th, the price increases to $415.
