10:59 Canon Robert Morrow's presentation
“Rotary Fellowships - Commonality in Diversity”
There are more than 90 Rotary Fellowships in the “Rotary World” - all focusing on a particular vocation, recreational activity or Rotary function. For many people, the introduction to Rotary Fellowships is in the House of Friendship at the International Convention. Along with commercial vendors and Rotary Action Groups, these Fellowships cater to like-minded individuals within a diverse organization. This interactive presentation will introduce you to the “world” of Fellowships - when they started, how they developed, their sizes and … how a new Fellowship is established.

The Rotary Club of Saint Petersburg International is the English-speaking Rotary club in Saint Petersburg, Russia, part of Rotary district 2223. St. Petersburg is affectionately known as the “Northern Capital”, and as the “City on the Neva”. It was established by Peter the Great more than 300 years ago and is the second largest city in Europe.
St. Petersburg International Rotary was chartered in November 2004 and is a mixed club with Russian and foreign members, both ladies and gentlemen. Some of us enjoy wearing bow-ties and some of us high heels to parties. We have been known to quaff a few ales after our meetings.
We actively lead several signature club service projects including Hermitage Benches, Center for Rehabilitation of the Child, and COVID relief. We warmly welcome your support!
