Super 6400 DisCon 2027 Update

What an exciting four days at the beautiful Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island! A dedicated group of committee members came together to put the finishing touches on what promises to be an UNFORGETTABLE Super 6400 DisCon 2027!

The excitement was contagious as our team explored downtown Mackinac Island, meeting with local merchants and discovering fun-filled activities for adults and children alike. The enthusiasm from the merchants was incredible, with many eager to partner with us and help bring even more excitement to the island in early May!

And WOW, do we have some fun ideas in the works! Imagine a fudge crawl, family scavenger hunt, geocaching, kite flying, painting with a local artist, bike riding, carriage tours, and so much more!

Add in spectacular entertainment, amazing special guests, wonderful fellowship, delicious food, and the elegance of Grand Hotel, and you have all the ingredients for a truly GRAND EXPERIENCE!

May 6–9, 2027, will be four days you won’t want to miss!

There’s still time to register before prices increase, so don’t wait! Join us for an incredible celebration of Rotary, friendship, family, and fun.

Come experience the magic of Grand Hotel, where EVERYBODY knows your name!

We are BETTER TOGETHER! 💙💛
