Greetings Rotarians and Friends: Once again this year, I invite you to join us in New York City at the Rotary-United Nations Day on Saturday, November 2, 2013. In addition, Canadian Rotarians can participate in a UN Tour Friday am and a Special Canada Session, hosted by the Canadian UN Ambassador on Friday afternoon, November 1st.
The Saturday meeting is scheduled from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at UN Headquarters and will include presentations and panel discussions addressing Millennium Goals, and key humanitarian issues. The event will feature presentations from senior UN staff and Rotary leaders, with panel discussions on our mutual goal of achieving peace.
Advance registration is necessary and I suggest you do this asap. Cost is US$45. including a box lunch. You can register for the Saturday meeting on line at: https://www.eventbrite.com/event/7622626481 NOTE: UN tours are not available on Saturday, so those interested in this should do so on Friday morning.
For the Canada Session on Friday afternoon, please email me your complete name/address at: rotary@teamvincent.com by October 20, 2013. This is a separate registration from Saturday which requires security clearances.
We anticipate three busses from Canada this year. If interested in the Charter Bus trip to New York and UN (Saturday meeting registration included) see http://www.clubrunner.ca/portal/SitePages/SitePage.aspx?accountid=130&pid=54148 or email JulieGrabb@hotmail.com
Saturday evening is our Friendship Dinner Cruise, November 2nd at 6:30 pm. All Rotarians, UN Colleagues and friends from around the world are welcome to join us. Enjoy a buffet dinner, music and fantastic view of NYC skyline at night. Register online at bottom of the first page at http://2013district7080untrip.eventbrite.com
Accommodation is expensive in NYC. There are more economical hotels across the river about 30 minute bus ride away. Many stay at the Quality Inn or Marriott Hotel in, Lyndhurst, NJ and save over $100. per night. Or if flying, the Comfort Inn in Queens is a convenient-to-subway location.
Join me at the United Nations, meet our Canadian UN Ambassador and celebrate Rotary's role in the development of the UN back in 1945. It will be an exciting experience. Rotarians, family members and friends are all welcome.
