World Wide Rotary Day honors the San Francisco Consular Corps as the special guests of the Rotary Club of San Francisco.

This year, we will feature a distinguished panel of leaders connecting the world to discuss three of Rotary International’s pillars that benefit the climate: fighting disease; providing clean water, sanitation, and hygiene; and growing local economies. As always, many members of the Consular Corps of San Francisco will attend as our guests.
