We joyfully reflect on the moments shared during our recent gathering, the 7th joint regular meeting of our club. This gathering was a memorable occasion to once again come closer to our Rotary’s rich traditions and dedicated projects. It also marked a unique occasion as we connected virtually with our friends from Rotary Club Cubao Quezon City (QC) Philippines, fostering a hybrid bond that transcends geographical boundaries.

In the spirit of greater fellowship, at 1:00 am Philippine local time, the members of Cubao Club passionately shared their impactful social projects and the noble act of uplifting their community, bringing hope to local children and those in need. The connection made was more than virtual; it was a bridge between hearts committed to service.

Our discussions, filled with enthusiasm, delved into future projects, laying the foundation for a fruitful collaboration after the Cubao Club’s earlier visit to Sofia. President Mr. Michael Mendoza Garcia and members extended invitations to join their on-site meetings and participate in the Rotary International Convention next year in Singapore. The prospect of mutual support and the exchange of ideas between our two clubs is an exciting journey that promises to benefit not only our societies but the world at large.

Special thanks to Mrs. Veronica Yu for organizing. See you soon, dear friends!

A particularly special moment unfolded during this meeting as we belatedly welcomed Dr. Nikolay Tzaribachev into our Rotarian family. His heartfelt speech detailing his journey into the realm of Rotary moved us all, and we anticipate his positive contributions to our club’s mission of service.

The evening continued with delightful social fellowship, reinforcing the bonds of friendship that make Rotary a truly special community. Looking ahead to our upcoming meeting on the 22nd set to take place in the Hilton Hotel where we will be inducting a new member and having a guest lecturer – our friend Mr. Anders Nielsen who will present us his meaningful experience with NLP – Neuro-Linguistic Programming, followed by our cherished Christmas gathering at “Unica” on the 13th of December.

A special thank you goes to President Mr. Grant Dale for steadfastly keeping the spirit alive throughout the entire meeting. Gratitude is extended to every Rotarian member who attended, showcasing that through these shared moments, we, our societies, the people we dedicate ourselves to, and the world as a whole, are undeniably made better.
