A Welcome from the RCPI President
Hello and welcome to Rotary Club Prague International,
Chartered in 1997, our Club is the only English-speaking club in Prague and one of the seventy-three Czech and Slovak Rotary Clubs belonging to District 2240.Our Rotary International President, Mark Daniel Maloney´s presidential theme for 2019-2020 is “Rotary connects the world”, as he believes that connection is at the heart of the Rotary experience. In this ever more divided world – he says, Rotary connects us all.”
Nothing is a better example of this connection than our Club, where we come from all directions and corners of the world. Men and women united in a culture of integrity in the service of others and creating a vibrant international environment. In the spirit of this presidential theme, we look forward to connect with new candidates and new members. To grow with solid members, community minded and capable or real engagement. People that can achieve more good Rotary work.
A special report prepared for Rotary International by the Johns Hopkins Center for Civil Society Studies, found that Rotary International members volunteer, in a typical year, a total of 47 million hours of volunteer effort. This is a powerful demonstration of the Rotary impact in the world and that we Rotarians are pragmatic optimists.
We believe in creating lasting changes, therefore raising funds to help our communities is a large part of what we do at our Club, seeking opportunities to serve those service projects we traditionally undertake and new ones too. Our Club meets every Monday evening and together we enjoy dinner, conversation and friendship as well as interesting speakers in a variety of subjects. Because we like having fun while doing good, all along the year we organize fun events such as visits to special exhibitions, cycle rides or walks.
I am honoured to serve you as the president of Rotary Club Prague International 2019-2020. We always welcome Rotarians, visitors and new members, and the best way to learn more about our Club is to attend one of our meetings. Come and see how Rotary Club Prague International connects, changes and celebrates the world.
Yours in Rotary,
Fernanda Escobar Illoldi
Rotary Club Prague International President 2019-2020
