Similar to the traveling Olympic torch, five Rotary Centennial bells will be circulated to clubs in every Rotary country, starting at the RI Convention in Brisbane, Australia, in June 2003. The bells' journeys will symbolize the internationality of Rotary as they crisscross the globe. The Stockton Rotary Club will host the traveling Centennial Bell on October 15, 2003. Club President Bill Brown extends an invitation in hope that at least one representative from each club in the district will attend the club meeting that day. DG Nick Mascitelli, PRIP Cliff Dochterman, and other Rotary dignitaries will be attending the special program. One bell will travel to the first 100 clubs to join Rotary International, while the others will travel to the first Rotary club formed in each country of four regions: Asia and the Pacific; Latin American and the Caribbean; Africa; and Europe. The bells' journeys will end in Chicago in June 2005 when they ring in the start of the centennial RI Convention The October 15 meeting of the Stockton Rotary Club will be held at the Stockton Inn on Waterloo Road at Highway 99 in the Northeast portion of Stockton. Get MAP. President Bill asks that visiting Rotarians email Club Secretary Jim Woodward at jimw@stocktonrotary.org at least one week in advance to assure adequate accommodations. |
