Rotary Day at the United Nations

The Saturday meeting is scheduled from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at UN Headquarters and will include presentations and panel discussions addressing Millennium Goals, and key humanitarian issues.  The event will feature presentations from senior UN staff and Rotary leaders, with panel discussions on our mutual goal of achieving peace. 

Please note that there is a separate program being planned for young adults, such as Rotaract, Interact, Youth Exchange Students and youthful family or friends.  So be sure to register and bring these individuals along, who may have an interest in global affairs.

Advance registration is necessary and I suggest you do this asap, since numbers are limited.  Cost is US$50. including a box lunch. You can register for the Saturday meeting on line at: www.riunday.org

Accommodation is expensive in NYC. There are more economical hotels across the river about 30 minute bus ride away.  Many stay at the Quality Inn or Marriott Hotel in, Lyndhurst, NJ and save over $100. per night. Or if flying, the Comfort Inn in Queens is a convenient-to-subway location.

Join me at the United Nations, meet our Canadian UN Ambassador and celebrate Rotary's role in the development of the UN back in 1945.  It will be an exciting experience.  Rotarians, family members and friends are all welcome.

 

Hoping you are having a wonderful summer.

With best regards,
