Atlantic City sent big delegation
! of boosters to the convention. They
! boosted hard for their home town
and impressed it on everyone
that Atlantic City is the only place
where the next international con-
vention ought to be held.
/ Atlantic City's Plea
Atlantic Citys plea for the next in.
termational convention follows:
Whereas; The Atlantic City Ro.
invitation to the Board of Directors
OF the International Association OF
Rotary Clubs to select Atlantic City
as the convention city for the year
1870 convention of International Ro.
tary; and,
Whereas, Atlantic City possesses ia
an eminent. degree all of the facilities
essentta! to the economic and efhci-
ent elaboration of convention details
including commodious hotels having
large and luxurious capacity, attrac.
tive and varied amusements and
railroad service unsurpassed by ans
city; and.
Whereas. The month of June, vita
It's balmy breezes from the southeast
the month in which the convention is
!
Atlantic City. and in which month the
temperature of the ocean permits OF
&c lightful bathing; and.
Whereas. International Rotary has
been holding it's conventions recently
in the Western and Southern states
it would seem only fair and just that
the 1920 convention should come 10
the Atlantic coast, thereby giving to
the eastern seaboard the renewed in
fuencc of Rotary that has come te
iother sections by the presence of the
conventions, and which said influence
would do much to strengthen and pro-
mote Rotary principles in the East.
Nov. Therefore, Be 1t Resolved
That the delegates assembled in the
conference of the Fifth District of
International Rotary held at Harris
burg, Pa, April 10 and IL, 1912
strongly recommend to the INTERIM
tional Beard of Directors of Rotary
that they should act favorably on the
request of Atlantic City, that we urge
them to select Atlantic City as the
place in which to hold the 1920 con,
vcntion Of Rotary and that we VII.
recommend to our respective clut
members to do all in their power tc
bring such convention to Atlantic
iCity, and,
copy of this resolution be spread on the
minutes of this meeting, that a copy
bt. sent to the Rotarian and that 8
copy be sent to the Board of DIRECTORS
of the International Association ol
Rotary Clubs"
