Past District Governor Doug Vincent:
Rotary at the United Nations - Opportunity November 6 & 7, 2015
Greetings Rotarians and Friends:
I am pleased to invite you to participate in our Rotary-United Nations Day in New York City on Saturday, November 7, 2015. In addition, on Friday, November 6th, Canadians can participate in a special Canada Session, hosted by the Canadian UN Ambassador.
The Saturday meeting runs 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. Enjoy featured presentations from senior UN staff and Rotary leaders, with panel discussions on our mutual goal of achieving peace.
A separate program is planned for young adults, such as Rotaract, Interact, Youth Exchange Students and youthful family or friends. So be sure to register and bring these individuals along, who may have an interest in global affairs. The youth registration is on a separate page and will open on September 21st.
Advance registration for Rotarians on Saturday is necessary and opening soon at www.riunday.org I suggest you do this asap, since numbers are limited. Cost is US$60. including a box lunch. You will also see reference to a TV show opportunity at 6:30 am on Saturday morning.
Note: UN tours are not available on Saturday, so those interested in this should do so on Friday morning. To reserve a guided tour Click Here
For the Canada Session on Friday, please email me your complete name/address at: dougv@dougvincent.com by October 25, 2015. This is a separate registration from Saturday, which requires security clearances. If space allows, non-Canadian guests are welcome.
Saturday evening is our Friendship Dinner Cruise, November 7th 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. Reserve by October 25th for $35 saving.
Group price is only US$95. all inclusive, compared to regular US$105 plus taxes and fees. To see more about the cruise, Click Here
To register for this dinner cruise, please RSVP me DougV@DougVincent.com and mail a check for US$95. each to Doug Vincent, Box 1583, Woodstock, ON N4S 0A7. Canadian price C$125.
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 Rotary friends 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.
Hoping you are having a wonderful summer.
With best regards,
Doug V
