With Covid around the world, the Rotary International Convention was changed from an onsite convention in Hawaii this year to all virtual online. It is FREE to attend and you are welcome to view as much or as little as you'd like. More information and details are below - but there will be two General Sessions kicking it off this weekend from 8-9:15 am our time both Saturday and Sunday mornings. Then next week will include a variety of breakout sessions - attend as few or as many as you'd like. They will also be recorded for your to view later as well. I'd encourage you to register and if anything, take in at least one of the sessions and explore the Virtual House of Friendship, which is a showcase of projects Rotarians are doing all over the world. Please let me know if you have any questions - otherwise you can register at riconvention.org or go there to learn more!
