Rotary UN Day at the United Nations in New York on November 7, 2009 is a forum where representatives from Rotary and the United Nations get together in fellowship and service.

It was a great success with every seat sold out. RGHF was represented with a number of Rotary leaders, who are also members of RGHF.
