Special Reduction - Onboard for 2010 District Conference 7450

Dear Fellow Rotarians and Family of Rotary:

It is my pleasure to invite you to share in a unique experience for District 7450, a District Conference aboard a luxurious ocean liner, Royal Caribbean’s Explorer of the Seas, for a fabulous five day cruise to Bermuda and back.

We will board the magnificent Explorer of the Seas at Cape Liberty in Bayonne, NJ on May 8, 2010 and return on May 13, 2010. There will be activities galore aboard the ship, miniature golf, a rock climbing wall, tariff free shopping, shows, casino, children’s pool and activities, health and fitness center or fun in the sun, and of course, great food. The Explorer of the seas has it all.

While in Bermuda, golfers will have an opportunity to play on a great course, and shoppers will have a field day.  Join us as we recognize our spectacular year in District 7450. I look forward to seeing you on board!

Please register by clicking Register tab above.

Bon Voyage!

Al Marland/District Governor

Places to Visit in Bermuda

Bermuda:

Nearly 600 Nautical miles off the coast of North Carolina, this island is known for its pastel painted houses, brilliantly colored gardens, cricket matches, fabulous golf courses and charming shorts.  Its pink sand beaches and excellent shopping make Bermuda a delightful place to visit.  

Kings Wharf:

This cultural center built at the remarkable Royal Naval Dockyard offers hopping, restaurants, art galleries, craft markets and eight wonderful museums.  For water-lovers it also offers a snorkel park and an extensive watersports facility, making it an excellent destination for the whole family.

Hamilton:

This charming town is quintessential Bermuda, with pastel buildings and businessmen bustling around in their jackets, ties and famous shorts.  From here, you can set sail to see the more than 350 islands that make up Bermuda.  Or grab a game of golf at one of six world-class golf courses in this area.

St. George:

In the oldest inhabited town of English origin in the New World, you’ll find yourself surrounded by history.  Visit the Old State House, constructed in 1620, and Gates Fort, built by the original settlers on the ship-wrecked Sea Venture, which dates back to 1609.  Or set out on a walking tour beginning on Ordinance Island and explore the cobbled streets in town.
