Special invitees to the dinner include senior officials of government, parliamentarians, members of the Diplomatic Corps, representatives of the business community and civil society, while all members of the Rotary family are encouraged to attend, a press release stated.
Rotary International has dedicated February towards World Under-standing and Peace and the Rotary Club of Georgetown marks the occasion each year by holding a gala dinner at which a distinguished person is invited to deliver an address focusing on the promotion of world peace and understanding, the release said.
