Ehden Escape - 6 September 2026

Posted by Olga Feghali on Sep 08, 2026

A heartfelt thank you to President Antoine “Tony” Lattouf and the Rotary Club of Tripoli-Maarad for the beautiful organization of this memorable weekend. As co-hosts, we were truly proud and delighted to share such joyful moments of friendship, fellowship, music, dancing, and togetherness with our Rotary family.

Our warmest thanks as well to the Mouawad family for their generous hospitality at the beautiful Country Lodge Ehden. From breakfast, to our meaningful visit to Saint Rafqa, and the wonderful lunch with authentic Ehden specialties, every moment was special.

What a lovely surprise to have our District Governor May Monla Chmaitilly and General Mohamad Chmaitilly join us for lunch, making this gathering even more meaningful and joyful.

These precious moments remind us that Rotary is not only about service, but also about friendship, human connection, shared joy, and the happiness of belonging to one beautiful Rotary family.

Rotary Club Tripoli-Maarad

Ehden Escape - September 5 2026

What a wonderful evening of Rotary fellowship at Country Lodge Ehden, in the beautiful North of Lebanon!

We were proud to co-host this special weekend with the Rotary Club of Tripoli-Maarad, under the leadership of President Tony Lattouf, in a warm atmosphere of friendship, music, joy, and true Rotary fellowship.

It was especially meaningful to share the evening with Jamil Mouawad and his wife Patricia, Emil Mouawad, and members of their respective clubs. Three Rotary Clubs, brought together as one Rotary family.

We were also delighted to celebrate the bonds of our ICC BeLux–Lebanon with Sanaa Hamzeh and to exchange around our common initiatives and humanitarian cooperation.

A beautiful dinner, a joyful country evening, and above all, precious moments of friendship and unity that remind us what Rotary is all about.

Together in fellowship, friendship, and service, creating lasting bonds and lasting impact.

Remember Your Why… Multiply Your Impact

What a meaningful and inspiring Rotary experience!

On August 26, Rotarians from clubs across Lebanon came together at Le Royal Hotel for “Remember Your Why… Multiply Your Impact” — an interactive seminar that invited us to go back to the very heart of our Rotary journey.

Why did we join Rotary?
What keeps us connected?
And most importantly, how can we transform our individual commitment into a greater collective impact?

Through moments of reflection, exchange and fellowship, we were reminded that Rotary is much more than meetings and projects. It is about purpose, human connection, service, friendship and the shared desire to make a lasting difference.

Reconnect. Connect. Reflect. Inspire. Grow.
Five simple words that beautifully captured the spirit of this experience and reminded us that when Rotarians come together around a common purpose, we do not simply add our efforts — we multiply our impact.

Our sincere appreciation to District Governor May Monla Chmaitilly and Membership Attraction Subcommittee Chair May Khodr for this inspiring initiative, and to all the Rotary Clubs of Lebanon who came together in such a wonderful spirit of unity and fellowship.

We left with renewed energy, stronger connections, and one essential reminder:

Never forget your WHY. It is where inspiration begins — and where lasting impact grows.

Fellowship Event Sunset at Beit Misk

What a beautiful evening! 🌅❤️

A breathtaking sunset, a magnificent view, and such a wonderful atmosphere. A very special thank you to our dear Lucie for choosing this extraordinary venue. We missed you, Lucie, and wish you a very speedy recovery. 🌹❤️

We also missed all those who couldn’t be with us and hope to see you at our next gathering.

It was a real pleasure to welcome Ghinwah Haddad, President of Rotary Metn Gate, as well as Nader Shehayeb and friends from Rotary Aley. We were also delighted to have Camil with two couples of his friends and their children, wonderful guests and, Inshallah, potential future members! ❤️

It was truly a joy to be together again, enjoying the open air, the beautiful sunset, the positive vibes, friendship, and fellowship.

Thank you all for making the evening so special. Here’s to many more beautiful gatherings and memorable moments together! 🌅✨🥂

Meeting Past DDG Rola Hamdan - RC Dubai

Posted by Olga Feghali

A beautiful Rotary morning in Dubai! ☕️🌹
It was a true pleasure to meet Past DDG Rola Hamdan from the Rotary Club of Dubai, with whom I immediately connected and shared a wonderful morning over coffee.
Our conversation was filled with warmth, friendship, and the true spirit of Rotary. We exchanged ideas about our clubs, future connections, and opportunities to strengthen the bonds between Rotarians across borders.
Rola is a wonderful, dynamic, and dedicated Rotarian whose energy, experience, and commitment to service are truly inspiring. It was a joy getting to know her and discovering once again how Rotary has this unique ability to bring people together and turn new encounters into meaningful friendships.
I am already looking forward to my next visit to Dubai, to meeting the members of her club and continuing to build these beautiful connections.
This is Rotary at its best: friendship, fellowship, service, and lasting connections across borders. 🌍🤝❤️

🌍 Rotary Connections Beyond Borders 💙💛

Posted on Aug 19, 2026

🌍 Rotary Connections Beyond Borders 💙💛

A wonderful Rotary experience in Dubai, filled with fellowship, inspiring encounters and new connections.
It was a great pleasure to meet PDRR Devanand Mahadeva, a distinguished lawyer and dedicated Rotarian from District 2452. Our warm exchange about Rotary, Youth Service and stronger connections between our clubs was truly enriching. His remarkable family legacy, both in the legal profession and through generations of Rotary service, is particularly inspiring.

The day continued with the Rotaract Club of Jumeirah Dubai, beautifully led by President Anika Ali. Meeting such enthusiastic young Rotaractors and sharing ideas through an interactive workshop was a wonderful reminder of the strength of our next generation.
I was also delighted to meet Dr. Bassel from the Rotary Club of Jumeirah Dubai, creator of RotaLink, an innovative concept designed to strengthen connections among Rotarians across our District.

A special highlight was exchanging three Rotary banners with the Rotary Club of Dubai Downtown, the Rotary Club of Umm Al Quwain and the Rotary Club of Kankaria, Ahmedabad, District 3050, India.

Different nationalities, different generations and different clubs, yet the same Rotary spirit and values bringing us together.
Proud to represent the Rotary Club of Beirut Cosmopolitan and to build bridges of friendship within District 2452 and beyond borders.

Connecting people, building bridges and Creating Lasting Impact. 🌍🤝💙💛

Life Saving - Heart Surgery for 2 Children in memory of our Dear Friend, the Late Mounir Nazih Jabre

Posted by Olga Feghali on Aug 06, 2026

From Heart

to Heart

Donation “for Gift of Life Lebanon”

Life Saving - Heart Surgery for 2 Children in memory of our Dear Friend, the Late Mounir Nazih Jabre

2026.08.06

Today, we gather not only to celebrate two young lives that have been given a second chance, but also to honor the memory of Past President Mounir Jabre, a truly remarkable Rotarian and humanitarian.

Mounir dedicated his life to serving others. He

led with generosity, humility, and compassion, always believing that the true measure of our lives is found in the good we do for others. He never hesitated to help the vulnerable, the sick, and those in need.

He was also a faithful supporter and donor of “Gift of Life Lebanon”, deeply believing that every child deserves the chance to live, to grow, and to dream. He firmly believed in giving children born with heart disease the priceless gift of a second chance at life.

Today, thanks to the generosity of Mounir’s friends and the friends of “Gift of Life Lebanon”, two children have received life-saving heart surgeries in his memory.

Thanks to Hammoud Hospital,

The Médical team,

The nurses and Volunteers .

One life… giving new life to others.

A life of service. A legacy of life.

These words truly reflect who Mounir was and the beautiful legacy he leaves behind.

Our heartfelt gratitude goes to everyone who contributed to this meaningful tribute, and especially to PP Lina Shehayeb, Founder and President of “Gift of Life Lebanon”, whose unwavering dedication has given countless children the precious gift of life.

Mounir may no longer be with us physically, but he will never leave our hearts. His memory will remain eternal, alive, and forever intact within each one of us. Through every child whose life is saved, through every smile restored, and through every act of kindness inspired by his example, his spirit will continue to live on.

May God bless his beloved wife, Rimane, his wonderful sons, Nazih, Samer and their families with strength, peace, and comfort.

Mounir, you will never be forgotten. Your memory will remain eternal and forever alive in our hearts.

Exchanging Banners with RC Athens

Posted on Jul 15, 2026

Dear friends,

I am delighted to share that I had the honor of officially presenting the Rotary Club of Beirut Cosmopolitan banner, with great pride, to the Rotary Club of Athens and to its President, Tasos Ballas, who has been re-elected for a remarkable fifth term.

During my previous visit to Athens in February, President Tasos Ballas had graciously presented me with the Rotary Club of Athens banner. It was therefore a true pleasure, on this occasion, to reciprocate by officially presenting our Club’s banner, further strengthening the friendship between our two Clubs.

Over dinner at Libanisiko, one of the finest Lebanese restaurants in Athens, we enjoyed warm fellowship and meaningful discussions about our two countries, ways to further strengthen the ties between our Clubs, and several future projects that we hope to develop together in the true spirit of Rotary friendship and international collaboration.

Wishing you all a wonderful day!

Everything reflected the finest Rotary traditions: impeccable respect for protocol, heartfelt hospitality, meaningful speeches delivered from the heart, and a wonderful atmosphere of unity, simplicity, and kindness. The evening beautifully demonstrated that elegance lies not in extravagance, but in sincerity and genuine human connection.

My warmest wishes go to President Ghenwa Haddad and her Board as they begin the 2026–2027 Rotary year.

The delicious homemade Lebanese cuisine, the gracious hospitality, the joyful conversations, and the heartfelt presentation of recognitions made the evening truly unforgettable. Every detail reflected generosity, authenticity, and the beautiful spirit that makes Rotary a family.

Deeply honored and profoundly grateful.

Receiving this beautifully engraved crystal from The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International, bearing my name, Olga Feghali, is far more than a distinction; it is a reminder of the responsibility, trust, and commitment that come with serving others.

Guided by this year’s inspiring theme, “Unite for Good,” I will strive, together with my club and fellow Rotarians, to build bridges, strengthen friendships, and serve our communities with even greater purpose.

Thank you, The Rotary Foundation, for this meaningful honor.
