For several years, the Mecklenburg County Rotary Clubs have gotten together for an annual lunch meeting.  After a three year break from this tradition, Charlotte Rotary re-instated this well received luncheon in 2010.

This year’s luncheon is scheduled for February 14, 2012 and RI President Kalyan Banerjee has just confirmed he is available to deliver the keynote address.  We are very humbled and excited to have the opportunity to host Binota and Kalyan Banerjee.  In light of this special occasion, we are extending an invitation to all Rotarians in District 7680 to attend the luncheon, which will be held at the Charlotte Convention Center, 501 S. College Street, Charlotte, NC.

As you would imagine, this is a tremendous and rare opportunity.  We must move quickly to ensure everything is in order and attendance is at a maximum.  Below are details for confirming your attendance.

Logistics

Registration is available through the District Database.  Knowing the Database is a challenge for some of you, please ensure someone in your club is responsible for registering your attendees.  Food is catered and we want to ensure everyone has a seat and something to eat!  This event is not the time for registration errors.  If you have trouble with the process, Sandy Osborne ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) or Jack Setzer ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) will be happy to register for you.  The cutoff for registration is Wednesday, February 8, 2012.

Registration will begin at 11:45 and the meeting will begin at 12:30.  A plated luncheon will be served (salad, Chicken Picatta {lemon caper sauce, roasted tomato basil and parmesan risotto, sautéed green beans and carrots}, roasted apple crumb tart/chocolate bourbon pecan pie).  The cost with tax, etc is $29.00 per person.

Realizing there are several parking options in uptown Charlotte, for convenience, you may wish to park at the NASCAR Hall of Fame parking deck.   The rate is $5 per car and I would suggest carpooling.

Mecklenburg Club Presidents will be seated at the head table.  Please confirm your representative’s name with Sandy ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ).

Clubs are encouraged to bring their club banner for display at the podium and throughout the room.  Remember to bring a stand or whatever is needed to support the flag.

Payment for the luncheon is $29.00 per person.  Checks are to be made payable to Charlotte Rotary and mailed to 841 Baxter Street, Ste 118, Charlotte, NC 28202.  Please do your best to get your check in before the luncheon!

Special Offering

The NASCAR Hall of Fame will offer all Rotary attendees a $15.95 general admission, $14.95 Military/Seniors price on the day of the luncheon.  All the attendee has to do is show your Rotary pin at the box office to receive the special price.
