A Brief History of Our Fellowship

Rotary Recreational and Vocational Fellowship is a relatively new program, combining two former Rotary International programs - World Fellowship Activities and International Vocational Contact Groups.

Whether recreational or vocational, Fellowships unite Rotarians in friendship and service, the exchange of ideas and the pursuit of international understanding.

The International Fellowship of Travel Agents was established in 1992 by Jay Weerarathna of the Rotary Club of Colombo Mid Town, District 3220. Rosey Wong took over the helm from Jay in April 1995. She increased the membership dues to US$20 from US$10 and introduced a quarterly newsletter to provide an opportunity for Rotarians in the travel and hospitality industry to network, exchange, promote and share ideas with other members within the industry. The first membership Directory was published in 1996. Membership benefits include a membership certificate and a yearly membership Directory. Due to increased cost our newsletter has been reduced to twice a year. We still meet annually at the RI convention and we now have regional groupings in more than 31 countries to encourage more frequent activities.
