Excerpt from RI President John Kenny’s speech:

In Rotary, everything we are, and everything we aspire to become, lies in the hands of Rotarians in their clubs. If our clubs are congenial and our meetings well run, if our service is carefully planned and competently carried out, if our members are qualified, honest, and respected in their vocations and communities, then all of Rotary will thrive. This is why I say The Future of Rotary Is in Your Hands.

At the Rotary Club of Adliya, we are determined to make 2009/2010 a year where we redouble our efforts to better serve the community, increase our membership and demonstrate leadership.

Under the leadership of our President Hasan Al-Balooshi, programs are already afoot and changes are already in process to achieve this commitment and vision.

We would like to welcome the new Board of Directors of the club and thank the outgoing Board for their efforts in a difficult year.
