Approximately 14,000 Rotarians and guests from around the world attended the 2023 Rotary International
Convention held at the Rod Laver Arena and the Melbourne & Exhibition Centre from 27th May to 31st May.
For those from the Club that attended the Convention or visited the House of Friendship had a wonderful time,
listening to incredible speakers, attended workshops, heard and saw the incredible work being done around the
world and making international friends. An amazing opening and closing ceremony listening to the wonderful
RI President Jennifer Jones (Imagine Rotary), RI President Elect Gordon McInally (Hope in The World) and
RI President Nominee Stephanie Urchick.
Melbourne was on show and there was plenty of outside events that
Rotarians could sign up for including a Night at the Museum, Flemington Racecourse, the streets of Melbourne
to sample the cuisine amongst other things.
The highlight for our Club was the DAA stand in the House of Friendship. It attracted much interest from Rotarians
from around the world. A big thanks to Brian, Cherie, Peter and the amazing DAA team.
