Rotary Convention - June 1st - 4th Sydney 2014 - Message from PDG Marilyn Mercer
A call for volunteers for the convention has come via PDG Cathy Roth. I am hoping that you will be able to spend a couple of hours as a Host Organising Committee Volunteer for the Rotary International Convention 2014 to be held at Olympic Park between May 28 and June 4. Volunteers will be needed before, during and after the convention.
Some say that "one only really knows Rotary after participating in such a Convention". We hope to have 700 volunteers. The more we have the lighter the load for everyone. You, your family and friends do not need to be a paying delegate for the Convention to volunteer. However, volunteers wishing to attend Convention sessions, the House of Friendship and HOC events will need to register and pay the Registration fee separately for the RI Convention. This is a great opportunity for everyone to become involved in a significant Rotary event. Volunteers will be needed at the Sydney Airports, railway stations, hotels and mainly at Olympic Park venues. To register your interest download the registration form from this link - register - to the volunteer page.
