At the 1917 Rotary Convention in Atlanta, President Arch Klumph announced his dream of creating a Rotary endowment fund. In 2017, we will celebrate the good work Rotarians have done over the past 100 years -- because one man dared to dream. We're offering the special rate in honor of Foundation visionary Arch Klumph and his birthday of 6 June, as well as the $26.50 first contribution to the endowment fund that grew into The Rotary Foundation.
In addition to an unparalleled lineup of speakers, entertainment, and events, this year’s convention offers once-in-a-lifetime activities, including:
- Special movie screening of “Gone With the Wind” at the historic Fox Theatre
- The inaugural Rotary International Film Festival
- Memorable Foundation centennial festivities
All convention activities will be held at the Georgia World Congress Center unless otherwise noted.
