In Rotary, July is the month of handovers and changing of the guards where leadership of clubs is transferred from one president to another. These events are always very well planned to highlight the solemnity of the occasion, respecting protocol while maintaining the spirit of fellowship. This month, our President was very busy representing RCBC to few handover ceremonies and few club visits to keep the Rotary ties with other clubs strong and impactful. P Sona attended HO of RC Cadmus, RC de Beyrouth and RC Tyre Europa. Heartiest congratulations to all new club presidents and best wishes for a very successful RY. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
