SYDNEY, Australia, will be host to the 1956 Pacific Regional Conference of Rotary International, November 12-15, 1956. Founded in 1788, Sydney is the oldest and largest city in Australia. Its magnificent natural harbor, which extends for many miles along the Pacific Ocean and encompasses innumerable scenic attractions, is one of the world's most beautiful harbors. Regional Conferences are held to develop and promote acquaintance and understanding and to provide forums for the expression of ideas and the discussion of topics which fall within the Object of Rotary. A Regional Conference is not a legislative body, but the opinion of those present may be expressed through resolutions addressed to the Board of Directors of Rotary International. Although intended primarily for Rotarians and their guests from the Pacific Region, those from other parts of the world are welcome to attend the Sydney Conference. The dates have been arranged so that Rotarians may attend both the Rotary Conference and the Olympic Games, which are scheduled from November 22 to December 8, 1956, in Melbourne, Australia. It is my great pleasure to issue this Official Call to the 1956 Pacific Regional Conference, to be held In Sydney, Australia, November 12-15, and I am hopeful that all Rotarians who can do so will attend this important meeting. (Sgd.) A. Z. BAKER President, Rotary International
