前扶輪大使獎學生、扶輪世界和平獎學生以及團體研究交換學生參與者因為不同的原因，開心齊聚扶輪前受獎人慶祝大會。以下是參加2008年及2009年活動的前五個原因：

Past Rotary Ambassadorial Scholars, Rotary Peace Fellows, and Group Study Exchange participants enjoy getting together at the annual Rotary Alumni Celebration for a variety of reasons. Here are the top five from those who attended the 2008 and 2009 events.

 

人際網路

Networking

前受獎人慶祝大會提供了一個前所未有的機會能夠跟其他扶輪前受獎人接觸的機會並學習他們在世界的工作。「我們要持續接觸並保持國際關係，以建立更長遠的和平及世界了解，」J詉rgen Wente說，他是德國M詉nchen-Land扶輪社員，也是1983-84至美國的大使獎學生。

The Rotary Alumni Celebration offers an unparalleled opportunity to connect with other Rotary alumni and learn about their work in the world. "We want to stay in touch and keep international relations going to further peace and world understanding," says J詉rgen Wente, a member of the Rotary Club of M詉nchen-Land, Germany, and 1983-84 Ambassadorial Scholar to the United States.

 

這也是一個遇到全世界扶輪社員的機會。Wente說在2008年洛杉磯慶祝大會時，加州Manhattan Beach的扶輪社員，大方的提供來自德國20位的前受獎人住在他們家中。

It's also an opportunity to meet Rotarians from around the world. Wente notes that during the 2008 celebration in Los Angeles, members of the Rotary Club of Manhattan Beach, California, graciously provided homestays for 20 alumni from Germany.

 

演講者

Speakers

主講人總是慶祝大會的焦點，Gulam Vahanvaty說，他是Mumbai Downtown, Maharashtra扶輪社員，也是1977-78GSE至美國的領隊。

The keynote address is always a highlight of the celebration, says Gulam Vahanvaty, a member of the Rotary Club of Mumbai Downtown, Maharashtra, India, and 1977-78 GSE team member to the United States.

 

2009年在英國伯明罕的扶輪前受獎人慶祝大會的主講人，是前世界銀行執行長，同時也是前大使獎學生Jean-Fran譃ois Rischard，同時是「狗紀年的20個備忘錄」 (High Noon: 20 Global Problems，大塊出版)以及20 Years to Solve Them這兩本書的作者，跟著Rischard的說明，分組討論著重在主要的全球問題及有可能的解決方式。

The keynote speaker at the 2009 Rotary Alumni Celebration in Birmingham, England, was former World Bank executive and former Ambassadorial Scholar Jean-Fran譃ois Rischard, author of High Noon: 20 Global Problems and 20 Years to Solve Them . Following Rischard’s talk, panel discussions focused on key global problems and possible solutions.

 

「我離開時覺得十分興奮，扶輪及扶輪社員讓解決某些世界上最棘手的問題的機會有了大不同，」Peter Kyle說，他是Capitol Hill扶輪社(華盛頓特區)，也是1973-74年大使獎學生(紐西蘭-美國)。

"I came away feeling quite exhilarated at the opportunities that Rotary and Rotarians have to make a real difference in solving some of the world’s most intractable problems," says Peter Kyle, a member of the Rotary Club of Capitol Hill (Washington, D.C.) and 1973-74 Ambassadorial Scholar from New Zealand to the United States.

 

國際扶輪國際年會

RI Convention

國際扶輪國際年會，就在前受獎人慶祝大會之後舉辦，提供了令人興奮的演講者、友誼之家及社交活動。

The RI Convention, which takes place just after the alumni celebration, offers exciting speakers, the House of Friendship, and social events.

2010年會的主講人包括世界暢銷作家「三杯茶」作者Greg Mortenson，以及Heifer公司的董事長暨執行長Jo Luck。

Keynote speakers at the 2010 RI Convention include Greg Mortenson, author of the international bestseller Three Cups of Tea , and Jo Luck, president and CEO of Heifer International.

「扶輪基金會投資在你身上，而這是一個學習許多其他計畫及扶輪首要任務的機會，前國際扶輪理事Ken Morga說，他是1977-78 GSE美國至丹麥領隊。「而蒙特婁慶祝大會，會是一個盛大的活動。」

"The Rotary Foundation invested in you, and this is an opportunity to learn about the many other programs and priorities of Rotary," says Past RI Director Ken Morgan, member of a 1977-78 GSE team from the United States to Denmark. "And the Montr眤al celebration will be a great event."

 

能見度

Visibility

同樣的，前受獎人慶祝大會及前受獎人在國際扶輪年會的出現提醒扶輪社員前受獎人所做的事，也再增強了扶輪教育計畫的價值。

Similarly, the alumni celebration and alumni presence at the RI Convention remind Rotarians of the work being done by alumni, which reinforces the value of Rotary’s educational programs.

 

「前受獎人慶祝大會是一個提供全世界扶輪領導人著重前受獎人重要性的機會，」Morgan說。

"The alumni celebration is an opportunity to provide Rotary leaders from around the world a focus on the importance of alumni," Morgan says.

 

樂趣

Fun

人際網路、講師及分組討論都是主要參加的原因，Deutschland扶輪前受獎人基金會會長Johanna Schubert說(2005-06文化大使獎學生，德國-威爾斯)，可是前受獎人慶祝大會中最棒的「就是有很多的樂趣」。

Networking, speakers, and panel discussions are all among the key reasons to attend, says Johanna Schubert, president of the Rotary Foundation Alumni Deutschland (2005-06 Ambassadorial Scholar, Germany to Wales). But one of the best things about the alumni celebration, she says, is that "it's simply a lot of fun."

 

其他人也同意。「一旦你有機會經歷扶輪年會及前受獎人慶祝大會的熱鬧，你就會想要與這個卓越不藩的組織終身連結，」Kyle說。

Others agree. "Once you have experienced the buzz of a Rotary convention and the alumni celebration, you will want to be associated with this extraordinary organization for the rest of your life," Kyle says.
