District Conference >>Governor’s Message
|
I am honored and privileged to invite you to our 76th Conference for District 2450 which will be held between 17th - 20th May 2012 in Aqaba, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan’s Resort city on the Red Sea. In the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, which in 2011 has the honour of being Arab Tourism Capital, Aqaba is one of those wonderful places that leave lasting memories, it is a year-round resort that has something for everyone; this seaside city is blessed with great weather throughout the year. Aqaba’s strategic location at the junction of land and sea routes linking Asia, Africa and Europe, has resulted in human habitation in the area dating back at least 5,500 years. Known for many years as Ayla, a Mamlouk Fort that has transformed into a modern city with luxury fi ve-star hotels, restaurants, entertainment, and modern malls offering plenty of shopping options and the best part that it is all tax-free. It’s very close proximity to the Red Rose City of Petra and the fabulous Wadi Rum, makes it more worthwhile to visit. I invite you to come to Aqaba in 2012 to celebrate the achievements that each and every one of you has helped his or her club to accomplish, the achievements of our year together, the changes we made in our communities and countries, and the achievements with which we all as Changemakers embraced our communities and our fellow citizens. It is time to meet again and to enjoy our fellowships, so bring your families and friends and enjoy the famous Jordanian hospitality. The Rotarians of Jordan look forward with enthusiasm to welcome you all in our unforgettable Aqaba. Ahlan wa Sahlan Usama Barghouthi District Governor 2011-12 |
