Organizers are urging Rotarians to take advantage of a special early registration rate of $265 for the Rotary International Convention. No, not the one coming up in Seoul, South Korea. The one coming up in 2017 in Atlanta!

That’s where RI will be celebrating the centennial of The Rotary Foundation. It was at the 1917 Rotary Convention — also in Atlanta — that then RI President Arch Klumph announced his dream of creating a Rotary endowment fund. Next year, we will celebrate the good work Rotarians have done over the past 100 years because one man dared to dream.

Says the Foundation announcement, “We’re offering the special rate in honor of Foundation visionary Arch Klumph and his birthday of June 6, as well as the $26.50 first contribution to the endowment fund that grew into The Rotary Foundation.

“Join us in Atlanta. Mark your calendar to take advantage of the special registration rate of $265, available only from this Saturday, May 28, through June 6 by clicking here.”

The 2017 convention, RI’s 108th, is scheduled for June 10-14 in the Georgia city. Click here for full details on the event.
