If you look at the Rotary movement globally, try to understand what Rotary is, what Rotary International is, where it came from in our lives, then it will not be possible to claim that only charitable activities united 1.2 million people in 46,000 clubs to the whole world

First of all, Rotarians rallied for tolerant communication, fateful acquaintances, search for valuable contacts, points of contact, interaction at the highest level. And now the Ivanovy couple will try to convince you of this.

Gennadiy - the charter president (founder) of the Rotary Club Kharkiv "New Level" and Iryna - his wife, emigrated with their children to Ireland after the war. As you know, in most cases Ukrainians do not have acquaintances abroad. What cannot be said about our Ivanovs.

A couple of days ago, Gena and Ira attended the President Dinner 2022/2023 in the company of members of the Dublin Rotary Club. The event was held on the occasion of a meeting of the past presidents of the club, in a very old building, in which the Masons held their meetings. They say that the Masonic movement still exists. Among the freemasons were such people as Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Queen Elizabeth II.

Our fellow club members, as thirsty New Level fans, sat at table #1 in the company of club president David Booth, his family and closest friends. In particular, John Feeley John Feeley Guitar is the best guitarist in Ireland, who gave his concert in Kyiv 10 years ago, and his YouTube video has 4.5+ million views.

It was also interesting for them to watch how the ceremony of awarding Rotarians who donated at least $1,000 to the Rotary fund was held in the Irish club. There were two such people here and they received Paul Harris (Rotary founder) medals from President David Booth.

It was a direct inclusion from Dublin. And then - again about Ukraine, about our native land!
