Posted in News and Events. Written by Admin on February 21st, 2026

On 21 February 2026, the beautiful city of Haskovo hosted the Rotary District 2482 District Team Training for the 2026–2027 Rotary year.

This event marked the first official gathering of the District Team for the new Rotary year and provided an excellent opportunity for team members to meet in person, align their vision and way of working, and begin the year with confidence, inspiration, and a shared commitment to service. The goal is not only to fulfill leadership roles but also to build trust, support the clubs, and leave a lasting impact across the District.

We are especially proud to share that Mrs. Hristina Malchevska, a member of our club, will serve as Assistant District Governor for Zone 1. This important leadership position reflects her dedication, experience, and commitment to Rotary values, and we are confident that she will make a significant contribution to the success of District 2482.

We are equally proud that our Vice President, Mrs. Ani Hristova, has been appointed for a third consecutive year as Chair of the Rotary Friendship Exchange. Her continued leadership demonstrates her passion for fostering international friendships, promoting cultural exchange, and strengthening connections among Rotarians around the world. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to both Hristina and Ani, and wish them every success in their new Rotary responsibilities.

Mrs. Hristova attended the training in Haskovo together with Mrs. Iliana Vakavchieva, the most active member of the Rotary Friendship Exchange team and one of Mrs. Hristova’s closest collaborators in coordinating the program. We are also delighted to share that District Governor Mr. Plamen Tsvetkov personally congratulated Ani and Iliana and encouraged them and the wider Rotary Friendship Exchange team, recognizing their dedication and outstanding work.

Congratulations to both – we are proud to have you as part of the Rotary Club Sofia International family, and this achievement reflects the very best of the Rotary spirit.
