Bernard, the motion picture man took pleasure in telling me that he won't partake in the evening event tonight as he was going to treat his wife to a special dinner he had planned to celebrate their 35th wedding anniversary.
He also helped in the organisation of the Home Hosting event for Monday night where he organised the group to be taken to Universal Studios. Doh! I wanted to go there too but I'm going instead to the Reagan Library for a tour of Air Force One. Oh well, my tour also sounds great but I'm not going to risk being a pain to everyone and change my tour!
We said our goodbyes "Good bye Australia - gee I love that country and its people," and tottled off to his special date.
Just some facts about the convention:
Its organisation involved 7 districts including LA, Nevada, San Francisco and Nevada. LA had previous 2 conventions in 1922 and 1962. It has aout 140 cultures, 135 languages and 92 consulates in LA.
Here are 374 Rotary clubs in these 7 districts representing 18 200 Rotarians and the LACC has 1500 volunteers to assist in all its operations over the few days.
The Literacy Project where all Rotarians were asked to bring a childrens book with them to be given to the poor has resulted in a new entry into the Guiness Book of Records. The books are boxed up and you can see the boxes stacked into abig pyramid in the foyer of the centre. It's a great effort on everyone's part.
