Today we were honoured by the visit of District Governor Zdenek Michalek and Assistant Governot Ladislav Nagy. Our President provided basic info on the club and our activities and Milos presented our biggest event we organized in history – the ISFR.
Governor present the past, present and future of Rotary world wide and in our district. The trend is the member numbers decline in developed countries and rise in developing parts of the world, mainly in Asia. In our district they stagnate.
Goals to achieve in our district to tackle the problem:
In 2019 our district will celebrate 20 years of existence. We all are invited to also join the Rotary Convention in Hamburg in 2019.
The District wants to raise awareness of Polio and wants to organize events in order to spread the necessisity of vaccination.
Governor used the opportunity to officially hand over the Paul Harris Fellow to Milos Kmety and Martin Sloboda.
