We are in May already, less than three weeks away from the Rotary International Convention 2023 (RICON23). Did you know that non-registrants to the RICON23 convention can enjoy a FREE 3-day pass to the Rotary House of Friendship? The House of Friendship is the ultimate destination for RICON23 attendees to gather, network, and learn about Rotary products, programs, or services. Nearly 95% of RI Convention attendees will make their way through the aisles of this exhilarating venue, connecting with leaders, activists, and People of Action.  
 
Dear Glenferrie Rotarians, if you have never been to a Rotary House of Friendship, please look at House of Friendship at #rotary19 in Hamburg.   
 
The complimentary 3-day pass to the House of Friendship is valid from Monday-Wednesday, 29-31 May. There are no additional costs – this is a free opportunity to learn more about Rotary and its place in the world. How do I redeem this special offer? Visit the Convention Registration Desk (MCEC Exhibition Centre doors 1 and 2) where you can register and collect your free pass. Friends and family are also eligible to enjoy this special access to the House of Friendship, so bring them along to learn what’s special about Rotary! We look forward to seeing you in the House of Friendship.
