All attendees have a favorite Rotary International Convention experience — or two or three. A sampling of what members are looking forward to most in Taipei:

• In-depth learning about Rotary, including directly from the RI president and RI general secretary
• The flag ceremony that represents Rotary nations and territories. Goosebumps!
• The House of Friendship — Rotary Fellowship booths and peace exhibits are two faves
• The chance to make friends, pursue your passion, and explore an exciting city
• Top-notch entertainment and inspiration — renowned speakers and a stage spectacular
• That feeling of what’s possible with Rotary’s global reach

For Pauline Leung, a member of the Rotary Club of Taipei Pei-An, one thing RI makes possible is the chance for international service. “Through Rotary, our helping hands can grow very long, and the world feels like a smaller village because Rotary unites us as one,” she says. Leung, a host committee member, hopes you come to Taiwan when the village of Rotary unites 13-17 June.
