World Wide Rotary Day honors the San Francisco Consular Corps as the special guests of the Rotary Club of San Francisco. One of the most popular programs on our Club's annual calendar, WWRD was founded in 1997 to recognize our Club's international service activities and the support of the Rotary Foundation of Rotary International. Our featured speaker this year is Daniel Ellsberg (scholar, anti-war activist, anti-nuclear war activist), who will be talking about The New Global Order and the Role of the Engaged Citizen. As always, many members of the Consular Corps of San Francisco will attend as our guests.
We need Club members to volunteer to serve as hosts for visiting consuls. If you are interested in hosting a consul, please contact Sacha Shashi.
Please RSVP well in advance so we can be sure to have enough seats for all who want to attend.
