Every picture tells a story, and there were MANY stories to tell of RICON 23. From pre-convention events like The Big Difference and the Environmental Sustainability Rotary Action Group (ESRAG) Action summit and environmental tours; to the Convention opening with its magical flagbearer ceremony; plenary sessions; breakout sessions; and the booths in the House of Friendship, there was so much to see, so many friends, old and new to meet and so much to learn.
Here is a small sample of pictures taken.....
