NY Rotarians Celebrate 100th Year at United Nations


Rotarians gathered at the United Nations on Wednesday morning, January 19, 2005 to ring the Rotary Centennial Bell. Originating from Australia last June, it has already traveled to many Rotary Districts throughout North and South America. This bell, as well as the four other sister bells, symbolize the internationality of Rotary. Their journey will end in Chicago for the upcoming 100th Year celebration in June.
