ROTARY INTERNATIONAL
CONVENTION IN LONDON EARLY JUNE OF NEXT YEAR. London, January 18. The Rotary International has accepted the invitation of the Rotary Club of London to hold its 28th annual convention of 1937 in London, from June 6 to June 11. This is the first time the convention has been held in London, and it is expected that it will bring about 10,000 Rotarians and their friends from all parts of the world. It was hoped to hold the 1931 convention in London, but the organizers were doubtful about London’s ability at that time to deal with the problem of hotel accommodation for so large an influx of visitors, and the convention went instead to Vienna. The decision to hold it here next year has been made possible by the guarantee of adequate accommodation that has been obtained by the co-operation of the Travel Association, the Hotels and Restaurants Association and the Residential Hotels Association. The Rotary movement is now established in nearly 80 different countries. There are 3900 clubs, and the total membership exceeds 160,000.
