RCKIB Tuesday Meeting January 18, 2022

19/01/2022

Last night members and guests of Rotary Club Kyiv International Business, all being fully vaccinated, attended our first in 2022 offline meeting - in our traditional Tuesday meeting venue #Radisson Blu Hotel.

Among the truly delightful moments of the evening were the pinning of our new member Tatiana Woellert, and the presentation by our Rotarian guest, Energy Minister Counsellor to the EU Delegation to Ukraine Torsten Woellert on Energy situation in Ukraine.

Traditionally, the official part was followed by the cordial get-together with a little buffet and beverages – a great way to start into a new year, discussing the ideas on joint activities for changing lives for better.
