💙 A wonderful Rotary evening
We had the pleasure of hosting Paul Edde, whose insightful intervention enriched our meeting with depth, reflection, and meaningful dialogue.
His topic sparked a dynamic exchange that brought us back to the core of Rotary values: ethics, service, and civic responsibility.
We were honoured by the presence of members from several clubs, including RC Kesrouan (co-hosting), RC Aley West, RC Byblos-Jbeil, and RC Beirut Center,  and many friends who joined us for this inspiring gathering.
A warm thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to this evening of fellowship, continuity, and shared values. Together, we keep building bridges of understanding, learning, and service.
💙 Rotary Beirut Cosmopolitan — proud to grow, learn, and serve side by side.

Women have had a profound impact on Rotary since officially joining in 1987. Their leadership, innovations, and commitment to Service have helped shape the organization into a more inclusive and dynamic environment. 
 
RC Beirut Cosmopolitan has showcased its women talent since its inception 25 years ago. In leadership, we had representation as Presidents, Assistant Governors, District Chairs, Country Chairs.
 
We led Rotary DEI focus, and the Rotary Peace Fellowships at the district level, and initiated the first Inclusive club in Lebanon. 
 
Our commitment to Peace Building led to the charter of the first youth-led Rotary Peace Building Club and helped establish the first Rotary Action Group for Peace in Lebanon.
 
Today, we celebrate all women as people of action driving positive change in communities with commitment and passion.

Happy International Women's Day
