Montreal Convention the Best

The Montreal International Convention was a great success. It is always wonderful to renew friendships and meet new friends from around the world. The convention always reminds us about the internationality and strength of our great organization - Rotary International. The warmth and welcome of all the Canadian Rotarians as we hosted the world of Rotary for the 100th anniversary of Rotary in Canada made this a very special event in our history. My top 5 from the convention

1. Friendships in Rotary

2. The terrific news about Polio and how close we are to eradication

3. The speakers and entertainment from Dolly Parton to Queen Noor of Jordan

4. The House of Friendship

5. The atmosphere of Montreal
