Taipei 2026

The Rotary International Convention in Taipei was a resounding success. There was plenty of opportunity for fellowship, service, learning, and most of all, fun. Frank took his sons and joined Les in participating in virtually all of the events at the convention, including the Rotary Youth Exchange pre-convention celebration.

Les also ran the 12.5K race to end polio. The weather almost miraculously cooperated at the last minute, having rained hard all night before an early start of the race at 5 am. Rotarians from District 5320 also met up with our Kenyan compatriots in Taipei, further extending our international connection and friendship.

Barcelona was picked as the location of our next convention in 2027. Les will definitely be there, but he’s looking to share the experience with a fellow Rotarian from Signal Hill. The international convention is one of the best part of Rotary. It’s a great reminder for all of us that Rotary is a global force for good.
