ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFAthletics.com) - UCF head football coach George O'Leary will serve as a keynote speaker Thursday for the Rotary Club of Orlando. The Rotary's weekly event will begin at 11:30 a.m. at the Sorosis Club at 501 East Livingston Street in Orlando.
Rotary International is a not-for-profit of 1.2 million business, professional and community leaders comprising 33,000 clubs in over 200 countries and geographical areas. The Central Florida District is composed of 48 clubs with over 2,100 members in Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Lake and Sumter counties. Rotary's purpose is to provide humanitarian service locally and internationally; maintain a strong network of business, professional and community leaders who share the same ethical values and philosophy; and collaborate to promote world understanding and goodwill.
O'Leary guided UCF to a top-20 national ranking, a Conference USA title and a victory in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl last season. His Knights have now won the 2007 and 2010 C-USA Championships as well as the 2005, 2007 and 2010 C-USA East Division titles, and are a favorite to do so once again in 2011. His efforts at UCF have garnered the eighth-year head coach three C-USA Coach of the Year honors, and also national coach of the year recognition in 2005.
UCF football season ticket packages can be purchased online at UCFAthletics.com or by calling the UCF Athletics Ticket Office at (407) 823-1000. Should UCF host the C-USA Championship Game for the fourth time in seven years, it would be played on Saturday, Dec. 3, and season ticket holders will receive the first shot at the best seats.
