Rotary: Fellowship Event not a fundraiser

Dear Rotary leader,

I need your help to promote a very special Rotary event. Please share this message with all of your club members, announce this event at your meeting and put it in your club newsletter.

On Saturday October 20 2012 you and all members of your Rotary club are invited to hear Rotary International President Sakuji Tanaka speak at a lunch and to participate in an afternoon plenary session. 

This event is open to all Rotarians in all districts. A large attendance from District 5020, 5040, 5050, 5060 is expected. Only 200 tickets will be sold plus the 400 registered delegates to the Rotary Institute.

Tickets are $50.00 per person if purchased before October 1 2012. After October 1st tickets will be $60.00. The lunch will be held at the Vancouver Westin Bayshore Hotel.

I appreciate it is difficult for Rotarians in many areas to come to Vancouver, I also know that many Rotarians do travel to Vancouver for business, personal or family reasons. Hopefully they will be able to attend this lunch with the RI President in conjunction with other travel.

This is not a fundraising event - this is a Rotary fellowship event.

The Rotary Institute is an annual event held at various locations in Canada and the USA.  More than 36 District Governors Nominee, Governors Elect and District Governors attend the institute for training.  Also Past District Governors from across Canada, eastern Russia, Northwest and Northeast USA and Bermuda will take part. For details visit: www.RotaryEvents.ca

In addition to President Tanaka there will be members of the RI Board of Directors and Trustees of The Rotary Foundation participating in presentations and seminars.

After the lunch guests with tickets for the lunch are invited to stay for the afternoon plenary session, which includes presentations by the International Agency For Prevention Of Blindness, service project highlights, South African student project, a Rotary moment, and a panel discussion by senior Rotary leaders (RI board members and trustees).

Tickets are only available online, due to commitments with the hotel there will be no tickets sales at the door.
