The eleventh regular meeting of Rotary Club Sofia International for the current Rotarian year took place on 4 December 2019 in Hilton Sofia. The meeting started with important announcements. The first one was that Mrs. Radka Stamenova will be acknowledged with Paul Harris Fellow recognition for her donation to the Rotary Foundation.

Secondly, the President congratulated Mr. Claude and Mrs. Inna Badan for their participation as Rotary Club Sofia International members in the National Food Collection Action for Poor People in France. Inna and Claude spent three days in a supermarket and collected, together with the other participating clubs, 14 pallets of food. Special thanks to Inna and Claude for their devotion and engagement on behalf of all club members.

Then, Mr. Plamen Kertev continued by sharing, that Rotary Club Sofia International will take part in the Christmas Ball of the Sofia Rotary Clubs. There we will have the opportunity to present our main project – Sofia Owls. Guests can support this initiative by giving in the Rotary Club Sofia International’s donation box and through the silent auction, where we participate with three items. 

Consequently, Mrs. Elena Vasileva shared her impressions form the 3 in 1 Rotary Seminar in Pravets. Our club participated in all the 3 panels with Ms. Ani Hristova, Mrs. Elena Vasileva and Mr. Grant Dale. 

Last, our dear Mr. Rumen Rusinov, the driving force behind the MED-Bul Project, gave an update on the latest developments. We have successfully realized another two deliveries from Austria. These include surgery beds and medical equipment, which were shipped to the hospitals in Razgrad and Targovishte.

Rumen explained that this project can be extended, as some of the items on offer can be used in senior residences in Bulgaria. Additionally, the project can be extended into Germany, as well. The same process of closing small hospitals and merging them into big ones is taking place there. As usual, all the latest developments will be published on our web page and Facebook.

After the official part of the meeting the fellowship continued.
