» Official 2011 RI Convention Street Banner

For the first time, Rotarians have a chance to own a piece of RI Convention history. Each 2'x5' banner can be personalized with up to three lines of information – your name, your Rotary title, your Club's name, your district, and your zone are some examples.

Each banner will be displayed on the route from the New Orleans Airport to the New Orleans Convention Center, site of the 2011 Rotary International Convention. After the Convention each banner will be taken down and shipped to the sponsoring Rotarian, club, or district. You'll have your very own personalized reminder of the 2011 Rotary International Convention to display at club meetings, district functions or in your office.

Help welcome Rotarians from around the world to the 2011 Rotary International Convention and have your own personalized piece of memorabilia after the Convention closes!
