AFRICA CALLING...our bid to host the 2019 RI Convention in Durban

The Host Organising Committee of the 2019 Rotary International Durban convention have asked me to remind you that it is vital for all Rotarians in Southern Africa to stand united in support of the proposed All Africa International Convention set for Durban in 2019, the first ever to be held on our continent.

If you have not yet registered on Africa Calling, www.africacalling.co.za, please do so to continue to receive updates on our progress.

This mail is to let you know that the Rotary International Board will sit from 28th October 2013 in Evanston to decide, finally, on the choice of Durban as the venue for the 2019 Convention.

Please assist me NOW by emailing your Rotary director, Gideon Peiper ( peiper@bezeqint.net ), incoming director Safak Alpay ( safaka@interpro.com.tr ) as well as Rotary International General Secretary ( John.Hewko@rotary.org ) and show them your support for Durban as the venue for the first ever Rotary Convention ever held on the African continent.

Just email the words, “I support the 2019 RI Convention in Durban. Your name, Rotary club and District”

Just like the Polio Plus campaign we are “This Close” to having our bid approved and your support will show that Africa really does mean business.

Please join me in helping ‘complete the circle’ of Rotary conventions by bringing the 2019 convention to Africa.

Africa is Calling you
