Dear D-5970 Rotarians,
 
We have some very exciting news for you!
 
As you know, the 2017 Rotary International Convention will take place in Atlanta from June 10-14.  While every Rotary Convention is an exciting event, 2017 will be extra special because we will be celebrating the 100th Anniversary of The Rotary Foundation.  As a matter of fact, it was in Atlanta at the 1917 Rotary Convention, that Rotary President Arch Klumph announced the formation of OUR foundation with the first contribution of $26.50.
 
In honor of Arch's birthday on June 6th, and in memory of the first donation, Rotary is offering a special registration fee of $265 - but only from May 28th to June 6th.  After June 6th, the registration fee will increase to $340.
 
Registration will be available online at http://www.riconvention.org/en/atlanta.  See the attached flyer for more information.  
 
We are also planning some travel options by bus and/or air for district Rotarians to travel together.  Those details are not ready to share as of yet.  However, we encourage you to register now to get this special, low registration rate.
 
Join us in Atlanta in 2017, where we will celebrate "100 Years of Doing Good!"
