Two of our members recently returned from the 2025 Rotary International Convention in Calgary — an event that truly showcased the modern, vibrant spirit of Rotary. They joined fellow Kiwis and Australians for the “Down Under Breakfast,” sharing a table (and some great conversation) with Rotary International President Stephanie Urchick and incoming President Francesco Arezzo.

The convention brimmed with inspiration, from powerful keynote sessions to unforgettable moments with world-class speakers, including Academy Award winner Geena Davis. Friendships were rekindled with Rotarians from across the globe, while new connections were made that will last a lifetime.

An international convention is more than just an event — it’s a celebration of Rotary’s global impact, a reminder of the lives we change, and a chance to be part of something bigger than ourselves. If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to be inspired, connected, and part of a worldwide movement for good, joining your local Rotary club might just be your first step.
