Rotary International Convention Melbourne 2023As you read this, the 2023 Rotary International Convention is underway in Melbourne. i am priviledged to be amongs 12000 Rotarians from across the globe who have gathered in Melbourne to celebrate the great works done by Rotatary over the last twelve months. There are posts on our Facebook page showing a few of the House of Friendship (or Showcase as it is known in our Rotary District) stalls that are promoting every conceivable avenue of service or project. Posts do not show the interaction or diversity of humanity present at this event but please read them to get a brief understanding. The above photos shows the contingent from our Club and an image of Peace Poles. This is a wonderful way to promote Peace in our communities. Saturday was the official opening of the House Of Friendship with Sunday being the official opening of the Convention at Rod Laver Arena. This was a spectacular event with a highlight being the Welcome To Country & Flag Ceremony. The afternoon was spent back in the Melbourne Exhibition & Concention Centre attending several info sessions and learning about many facets of Rotary. Following days are in a similar vein and i look forward to learning from others. Robin LeGallez Rod Laver Areana prior to being filled to capacity.
