On 30 October, 2019 Rotary Club Sofia International held its regular meeting at Hilton Sofia. We were pleased to welcome a new guest Mrs. Yolanda Van den Brook from the Netherlands. After the introduction of Yolanda the meeting continued with internal affairs and announcements. Afterwards Ms. Ani Hristova opened the End Polio Now donation box and counted the funds collected at the club’s Oktoberfest. We have collected almost 300 BGN, which will be transferred to the Global End Polio Fund. Thanks to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation this amount will be trippled.

The meeting continued with presentation of current projects of the club. Mr. Rumen Rusinov updated the members on the developments with the MED-Bul project where new opportunities are present – 3 full trucks from Austria are available for Bulgaria and they include two very expensive and valuable devices – an X-Ray and a tomograph by Toshiba. Sponsors are needed for the realization of this new project.

Later on Ms. Ani Hristova shred news on another successful project completed with Roataract Club Sofia. Books were collected, where our club contributed through Ms. Hristova and were donated to organizations in the Yakoruda region of Bulgaria. The project is continuous, so book can be donated to Rotaract Sofia anytime, next destinations are the Bulgarian communities in France and Ukraine. 

Moreover Mrs. Linda Kim will once again take part in the International Women’s Club Charity Bazaar representing Switzerland. This year half of the Swiss stand can be used for promoting Rotary Club Sofia International. Volunteers from the club will participate and will also help Linda. The event will take place on 1 December 2019 in Inter Expo Center. 

After the meeting the fellowship continued.
