October 24 - Rotation Day
Rotarians who registered previously will gather for Rotation Day this Thursday, October 24, 11:30 am - 1 pm. Invitations have been sent by email. There will be no traditional meeting at Mayo Civic Center this week.
 

What happens on Rotation Day?
Members may be assigned as an attendee or offer to host a location where you do business or enjoy a special interest (i.e. a workshop, garden, etc.). Rotation Day goes back to the early days of Rotary when Rotarians rotated their meeting site each week. It gives you the opportunity to enjoy fellowship in a smaller group and to find out about your host's vocation/interest.

What do those attending do?
Guests wait for an invitation by email or phone from their host. Please respond to the host to confirm that you are attending and arrive promptly at 11:30 am on Rotation Day to enjoy the event. Unless the host decides to provide a complimentary lunch at their own expense, guests are asked to carry-in their own lunch if they choose to eat at the event.

Support the 2019 Rotary Holiday Classic
It's not too late to participate as an advertiser for or sponsor of the 2019 Rotary Holiday Classic basketball showcase! 
 
The 32nd Rotary Holiday Classic will take place December 27 & 28 at Mayo Civic Center, and the Rotary clubs of Rochester will once again host 32 boys and girls varsity basketball teams along with their families and fans for games played over the two days. All net proceeds from the event are distributed as Rotary Community Grants to local nonprofit, youth and education-related programs. More than $981,000 has been given over the last 31 years, and Rotarians are looking forward to raising enough money at this year's event to reach that remarkable $1 million!
 
Program advertisements range in price from $125 for a quarter page to $275 for a full page, and sponsorships range in price from $500 for a bronze sponsorship to $5000 for a platinum sponsorship. Sponsorship benefits include your name on a banner in all game venues; your name and an advertisement in our professionally printed program distributed to attendees; your logo printed on mini basketballs and thrown out to attendees during game halftimes; your name listed on our website, in social media posts, and during games; and complimentary passes to the event. 
 
Please contact the Rotary office at romnrotary@gmail.com if you would like to be a 2019 advertiser or sponsor. You can find event details on the Rotary Holiday Classic website
