(23 Feb) Тhe Head of the Bureau of the European Parliament in Bulgaria Presented at a Regular Meeting (+GAL)
The Head of the Bureau of the European Parliament in Bulgaria, Mr. Teodor Stoychev, was our guest on the regular meeting meeting held on 23 February 2022.
Traditionally, the official part was opened by the president Mrs. Hristina Malchevska. After the introduction of our regular guests, a brief update of the ongoing projects of the club followed.
Our President congratulated all members for the Rotary 117 Anniversary and shared a short story about Rotary origination.
In 1905 four men met in a downtown office building in Chicago, Illinois. The meeting was organized because Attorney Paul Harris wanted to create a professional group representing the friendly smiles and small-town values he had known in his youth. Harris, Gustavus Loehr, Silvestor Schiele, and Hiram Shorey decided to call their club Rotary, because their meeting locations would “Rotate.” The name Rotary International was officially adopted in 1922, as they encountered fellow professionals around the world who also craved friendly smiles and humanitarian values.
We continued with Mr. Teodor Stoychev, our special guest this evening, the Head of the Bureau of the European Parliament in Bulgaria who introduced the audience to the work of the Bureau.
The European Parliament has its offices in the capitals of all EU Member States. The EP Bureau in Bulgaria was set up to provide information to citizens, the media, NGOs and youth organizations, state, and municipal administrations on the role of the EP, and more generally the European Union.
To establish a close link between Bulgarian citizens and members of the European Parliament, the EP Bureau in Bulgaria organizes thematic conferences, civic forums and seminars.
After the presentation our president thanked to our guests and club members for joining this evening and reminded them for the upcoming meetings, every Wednesday 18.45h in person in Hilton and hybrid for those who cannot attend physically.
