On 22 April in Hilton Hotel, Sofia the official event to celebrate the 90 Years anniversary of Rotary in Bulgaria was held. Rotary Club Sofia also celebrated their Birthday, as they were the first Rotary Club in Bulgaria.

The evening started with the 4-Way test and introduction of the guests. Just four days before our meeting the Bulgarian Rotarians celebrated the 90 Years anniversary of Rotary in Bulgaria, since on April 22, 1933, 16 prominent Bulgarian intellectuals and public figures signed a Protocol for the establishment of the first Rotary Club in Bulgaria. Today, 90 years later, there are 90 Rotary Clubs in Bulgaria. Nine members of our club joined the event in Hilton Hotel, Sofia.

Special guest of the evening were our German friends from the Rotary Friendship Exchange Program. They visited a number of interesting places and Rotary clubs in Bulgaria. More information here.

Guest singer of the club was Mr. Vlado Dimov, one of the best Bulgarian singers and he especially greeted our Club with his newest song.

Our Club would like to thank Mrs. Conka Taushanova, President of Rotary Club Sofia, for her warm hospitality.
