It's not too early to register for the 2018 Convention in Toronto, sign up to be a volunteer and be part of Home Hospitality. Here is more news in a letter from our District Governor Neil.....

To all active Rotarians in District 7070:

IMPORTANT: Register for the Rotary International Convention in Toronto in June.   Please don't wait until next May.  Register here:

http://www.riconvention.org/en/toronto

Have you registered to volunteer?  You don't need to decide in what area or what days yet - but the Host Organising Committee DO need you to sign up online.  They're working extremely hard planning things, so I know it would relieve their stress greatly if they had a few hundred more people sign up now.  Remember, volunteers are needed both INSIDE the convention (registered delegates) and also OUTSIDE -- so spouses, siblings, friends, colleagues, Rotaractors and Rotarians-to-be are most welcome as well!  Sign up here by entering your info in just a few clicks:

Still thinking about helping host a dinner for Monday, June 25th - Host Hospitality night?  It's a highlight event for many going to conventions, and you'll meet a truly international group of guests.  We should have 5,000 spots available, so please register your event - you don't need to have full details finalized.  (I'll be sending a separate email to Club Presidents re potential joint events for those clubs outside of the city.)  Sign up with even fewer clicks here, so they know you're hosting a dinner:

Lastly, exciting news:  HOC event tickets are now on sale.  People from around the world are already starting to purchase - and of course everyone here is welcome as well!  More info here:

The HOC is getting updated on a regular basis, and includes info on all aspects of the convention, and a link to RI as well. So bookmark this one-stop resource...

Thanks on behalf of your DG, and the Host Organizing Committee.
