INTERNATIONAL MEETINGS

Celebrate Rotary in New Orleans!

Good Food, Good Music, and Good Times are what you’ll find when you visit New Orleans. It’s a place where people know how to enjoy life at events like Mardi Gras, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, and the New Orleans Wine and Food Festival (NOWFE). It’s a place where people are passionate about food and how it’s prepared, and where you go to get the best meal. It’s a place like no other in the United States. This cosmopolitan culture is a stew  of African, Spanish, French, Irish, Italian, German, Caribbean, Native American ingredients.

We know that New Orleans is a great place, but why attend an RI Convention in New Orleans?
