One of the cool things about the Rotary International Convention are the Home Host Events (HHE). For the HHE's, club's can invite Rotarians and their families to any sort of event or party. The kicker is that it's all pretty random. My Club didn't know who was coming (we could put a limit on the attendees) until the last minute and the people who came didn't know which HHE they were going to until they got their registration packets. The committee that organized it assigned people to HHE's based on the hotel where they were staying for easier logistics.
So, about 50 people from all over the world (US, Canada, Nigeria, Nepal, Thailand and Sweeden) came to our party (our incoming president has a big house with an awesome view) as well as about 30 people from my Club. I cannot tell you how cool it was to talk with the guests about their countries, how Rotary works there, etc. The HB totally got a kick out of it as well.
BTW--the HB blew his first bubble yesterday. He's obviously psyched.
