Celebrate Rotary in the city where it all began!
The greatest celebration in Rotary's history — the 2005 Rotary International Convention — commemorates the organization's first one hundred years of service and will take place on 18-22 June 2005, in downtown Chicago, where Rotary was born.
This Centennial Convention will be anything but conventional. It features an extra day of festivities and a Rotary parade through downtown Chicago
