In the first formal Business Meeting of the new Rotary Year for the Rotary Club of Adliya held on July 19th, President Mahmood Al-Yousif summarised the preceding Board Meeting held on the same day and apprised the members of the club communications at hand. The Board earlier approved the major events, programs and campaigns scheduled for the year.

The Membership Development and New Generation Committee Chairman also presented his plans to the club, emphasising membership retention, new members induction and the creation of a foundation program to properly integrate new members into the club culture.
The Club then welcomed the visiting Rotaract President Ebrahim Al-Shaibeh and his delegation. President Ebrahim outlined the projects undertaken by the Rotaract Club of Manama & Salmaniya over the last few years, explained their main fund-raising program: Against The Clock [ATC] and pledged the full funds raised in this year’s ATC to the Rotary Club of Adliya’s Gift of Life Bahrain program. President Ebrahim expects to raise funds in the region of BD25,000 in this year’s ATC!
