Invitation from District Governor Steve Shone
It gives me great pleasure to invite you to join us for the Rotary District 9370 Conference 2026, hosted at the breathtaking Mpekweni Beach Resort, beautifully nestled between East London and Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth).
Join us for a memorable weekend of connection, inspiration, and celebration — where Rotarians and guests come together to network with like-minded professionals, share best practices, and explore innovative ideas, all while honouring the strong traditions that make Rotary so special. Be inspired by our distinguished international speakers, enjoy the warm hospitality of the Sunshine Coast, and indulge in the vibrant flavours of the Eastern Cape. Bring your family along to experience a weekend filled with fellowship, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
Together, let’s celebrate the year that has been, and reignite our passion and purpose for the Rotary year ahead. I can’t wait to welcome you to Mpekweni — where inspiration meets the ocean breeze!
