If you are going to be going to the Rotary International Convention in Malmo-Copenhagen this June, please let me know. ROTI, ICUFR and Interntional Fellowship of Digital Technology Rotarians are looking for volunteers to help coordinate with hosptiality at the HOUSE OF FRIENDSHIP HALL.

If you know anybody local in Copenhagen that could help, that would be wonderful!

Please post a comment if you are planning to attend, or know somebody that is!

Convention Program The 2006 RI Convention will emphasize interaction and continuity, providing Rotarians alternate ways to explore several topics of keen interest each day. Copenhagen's Bella Center is ideally suited for just such a gathering. The Nordic region’s largest conference and exhibition facility, it is also open and airy with lots of greenery, making it a cozy, inviting venue for inspiring Service Above Self.

The convention’s main events will be housed at the Bella Center and include opening and closing ceremonies, general sessions featuring keynote speakers, multimedia presentations, and a host of local performers. Highlights include:

Interactive discussion groups will be held each day on several topics including literacy (Monday, 12 June); water, hunger, and health (Tuesday, 13 June); and bridging the world (Wednesday, 14 June). Led by trained facilitators, these discussion groups of 50 to 100 people will give Rotarians the opportunity to brainstorm ideas for postconvention projects to help meet humanitarian needs.

Workshops will provide a more traditional learning venue on membership recruitment and retention, The Rotary Foundation, PolioPlus, and topics for incoming club presidents. The workshops will feature panels of five or six Rotarians sharing knowledge, expertise, and updated information with up to several hundred people.
