Join other Club members from Montecito at the 110th Rotary International Convention in Hamburg, Germany, 1-5 June 2019. There's already a group of us going and we'd like you to attend too!
The historic port city of Hamburg offers something for everyone. Germans call it “The Gateway to the World” — and the 2019 convention will be your gateway to the world of Rotary. At the convention, you’ll connect with people of action from across the globe while learning the latest news and strategies for keeping clubs strong.
Every convention is an opportunity to learn, whether you're new to Rotary or a veteran. Not only will you be inspired by the energy and enthusiasm that surrounds you, you’ll also make new, unforgettable memories and friendships that can last a lifetime. You might even experience your very own "Rotary Moment!"
Join your Rotary friends and fellow Club members in Hamburg at the 2019 Rotary Convention.
