At our District 6560 conference and the Rotary International Convention, we have a House of Friendship. At the international conference the HOF has booths, food, internet cafe's, entertainment, and things to inspire.
Rotary clubs from around the world would set up booths to make people aware of their projects and look for support. This is a great way to make connections with other clubs. There are also Rotary Fellowships. These fellowships are Rotarians that share a common interest. For example; Biking, Yachting, Doctors, and Bird Watching are just a few fellowships that were represented. The HOF was open each day and in between breakout sessions and plenary sessions we were free to browse the booths.
At the end of each day there would be a band, kariokee it a dance troupe to entertain us.
My big take away was from the booths that demonstrated clean water systems and a club that is pushing for Rotary to attack MS after we have stamped out Polio.
