ROTARY SUPPORT for the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy

Dear fellow Rotarians worldwide,

Rome and the Jubilee of Mercy, wanted by Pope Francis, are waiting for you.

We, Rotarians of Rome, want you to know that it is our desire to give you support for your visit in the city. There is a dedicated website www.giubileoguide.it, which you can view in your native language, where to find useful information. Registration is free (click here), and you can send us your queries on Rome. We will be happy to reply.

We will also try and support you with problems that you may encounter during your stay in Rome.

You will be able to take part in the events that the numerous city Clubs organize during the week from Monday to Friday, so we can have the chance to get to know each other better. You can confirm your presence at one or more events through the website.

It is important that you are aware that you have friends in Rome who want to make you feel at ease.
We are not travel agents; however, should you require so, we will do our best to give you all our support.

Please pass this message along to the members of your club.

Quote of the Week

I have always considered tennis as a combat in an arena between two gladiators who have their racquets and their courage as their weapons. ~Yannick Noah

Why has slamming a ball with a racquet become so obsessive a pleasure for so many of us? It seems clear to me that a primary attraction of the sport is the opportunity it gives to release aggression physically without being arrested for felonious assault. ~Nat Hentoff
