Welcome to Virtual RotaryFest 2020!

Crawl out of your bed. Grab your mug and fill it with your favorite coffee. Sit down in your favorite chair. Tune your computer to Virtual RotaryFest and listen for the soothing and familiar voice of Winston Churchill as he kicks off the morning with a little inspiration. Be seamlessly transported to the Rotary International Virtual Convention and back again. Magic? No. Intermission? Yes!

Go to your fridge and grab your favorite snack and your favorite beverage. Scratch your dog’s back. Go to your bathroom. Come back to your screen. Hang on! Speed visit your District’s 60 Rotary clubs, people and projects; all your exchange students and all your projects here and around the world. Meet and talk with your fellow Rotarians (from near and far) in virtual breakouts. The Grand Finale … let’s keep a few surprises! Its over? Wow! and your Saturday is still young and has just begun!
