Awards Luncheon: noon to 2 pm

This year’s annual ROTARY DAY event will be held at Gallaudet University on Tuesday, September 30th.  As is our custom, ten Gallaudet students have been chosen by the district’s Gallaudet Scholarship Committee to each receive a scholarship award.

 

Since the program’s inception in the mid-1970s, District 7620 clubs have consistently partnered with Gallaudet University to provide deserving deaf students with much needed financial support.  To date, District 7620 and its clubs have awarded more than 270 scholarships.

 

ROTARY DAY 2014 will include an optional campus tour for those interested followed by an awards luncheon.  The tour begins at 10:45 am and ends at 11:30 am. Registration for the awards luncheon will begin at 11:30 am at the Ole Jim Alumni House located on the Gallaudet campus.   

 

The luncheon will begin promptly at 12:00 pm and concludes at 2:00 pm. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about Gallaudet, the world’s only liberal arts institution specifically designed for deaf and hard of hearing students, meet past and present Gallaudet students, enjoy an amazing performance by the Gallaudet Dance Company and enjoy a luncheon including a keynote address by Gallaudet leaders.

Gallaudet University is located at 800 Florida Avenue, NE in Washington, D.C. (just a few blocks east of New York Avenue on Florida Avenue).  Parking is available in Gallaudet’s on-campus parking garage. 

 

Preregistration is required for ROTARY DAY.  This year’s attendees may register by sending an email to rotary2014@gallaudet.edu or by calling the Development Office at (202) 448-7414. It is important that all individuals and clubs pre-register so that we have an accurate head-count for the awards luncheon.  Please submit your preregistration no later than September 20th.   We welcome individual and group pre-registrations.  Be sure to include the number and names of members expected to attend.

 

We thank you for your continued support and we look forward to celebrating ROTARY DAY 2014 with you on September 30th!
