Rotary International Convention

As you may already know, the 2010 Rotary International Convention is going to be held next June, in Montreal! This event is once in a lifetime, guaranteed you will never see anything like it, unless you are lucky enough to attend another convention. There will be people attending from all corners of the world- Rotaracters, Rotarians, Youth Exchange-rs, the list goes on. In addition, because Montreal is such a great cultural city, the events this year are going to encompass that and undoubtedly be amazing. Even if you are not planning on being in Montreal this summer, it's definitely worth a trip back for the weekend (June 20-23) to attend if you are able.

Registration is open, and will be available up until the event, but if you register before December 15th, the cost for Rotaracters is only $75 (compared to the Rotary cost of a few hundred dollars). After then, until March 31st, the cost is $100, and after March 31st the cost is $125.

The registration form can be found here: http://www.rotary.org/RIdocuments/en_pdf/c10_registration_form_en.pdf
and can be mailed to the nearest Rotary International office (the address is on the form). Unfortunately, as Rotaracters, we can't submit the form online, it can only be mailed or faxed in.

If you need accommodations for the weekend (at New Residence Hall), you can download the registration form here:

or book online at https://resweb.passkey.com/Resweb.do?mode=welcome_ei_new&eventID=77308

In addition, there will be a Rotaract pre-convention on June 18-19, the two days before the convention. There will be a separate sign-up/registration for that, and we'll keep everyone up to date once we have more detailed information!
(UPDATE: The Rotaract preconvention website is www.rotaract2010.com)

Please email McGill Rotaract (mcgill.rotaract@gmail.com), or myself (nicolette.neumann@mail.mcgill.ca) if you have any questions or need more information! I really encourage everyone who is able to attend to do so, it's sure to be an amazing experience.
