In fact, our club's president in 1945, Luther Hodges, was invited to the "San Francisco Conference On International Organization" for Rotary's input to create the UN Charter. As such, more than seventy years later, Rotary International and its 33,000 clubs still maintains the highest consultative status as an NGO. In this capacity, Rotary International and the United Nations has built a strong and productive partnership in achieving the Millennium Development Goals, cultural exchanges, education, water/sanitation projects, and promotion of peace negotiations around the world. Our Club still holds an enjoyable and friendship-building monthly breakfast meeting with United Nation directors, administrators, and ambassadors. For decades, every year our club helps to host 1,500 Rotarians to attend Rotary Day at the United Nations. It is normally held the first week of November.

While membership in Rotary is by invitation only, we can put more helping-hands to good use.
