ImageWe received the following information about the Rotary Global Essay Competition, with a request to pass it along. It looks to be a great way to make new Rotary friends and take a trip to a fascinating destination. It could be a great opportunity for a Rotarian or an Interact student!

Dear Friends,

I am District Governor of District 3131 Pune, India and on behalf of my district and members wish you all a great year ahead. Together we will make this world a better place to live.

I am writing to you all to appraise you on a unique event that our district is organizing this year. One of the clubs in my district, RC Pune Katraj has organized a global essay competition (ROGEC) with a view to Engage Rotarians and allow them a platform to express themselves on global issues concerning Rotary. The theme for the year is World Understanding and Peace.

This competition is open to all Rotarians, Anns, Annets, Rotaractors and Interactors from across Rotary world. The winners will be invited to India for 5 days and will get involved in various informative and cultural activities.

The essays can be submitted online at http://www.rogec.org/registration.html. The last date for essay submission is 11-Nov-2013

A literature is attached with this mail giving elaborate information. Detailed information is available on www.rogec.org and updates are available on www.facebook.com/rogec2013.
