At the first ever Rotary Day at the White House, more than 160 Rotarians will attend a morning round of community leaders briefing series. White House administration experts will speak on topics including maternal and child health, disease prevention, economic development, youth and education, water and sanitation, and peace-building.
Rotary Day coincides with the U.S. presidential proclamation of National Volunteer Week, which is 15-21 April. Each of the Champions of Change will receive a copy of the president’s proclamation. In the U.S., you also can find out more about serving through volunteering at www.serve.gov.
