Children Iftar at Burger King - Jal El Dib

On March 21, per tradition, Rotary Club Beirut Cosmopolitan in collaboration with Rotary Club Beirut Pax Potentia hosted an iftar party for 33 kids ages 7 to 14 with their assistants. These less privileged, non-institutional kids were treated to an evening of fun at Burger King in Jal el Dib.
  Games, face painting, picture taking were provided by the young Pax Potentia Rotarians. Service Committee chair offered roses to all on the occasion of Mother’s day. Upon their departure, every child was given a gift bag with a cupcake to enjoy later.
  This heartwarming event was attended by few Rotarians from Rotary Club Beirut Cosmopolitan who equally enjoyed the evening. Nothing beats a smile on a child's face, and nothing is more noble than spreading cheer and good will.

July month of handovers 

Posted by Sona Kourtian
     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.
