At this Club Meeting Annika Svensson Dalgren will handover the Presidency of Lund International Rotary Club to Christian Idström. 

 
During my presidential year we have achieved a lot of things, thanks to many of you, that have contributed. 
 
I especially want to thank the board and all heads of committees, project leaders, and members that have stepped up, for their outstanding support. Without you, we would not have been as successful in our delivery of our anchored plan for 2019/2020. 
 
We have proven that we can deliver support to global and local projects, we can adopt early, in an extraordinary situation, and be agile when we handled the Covid-19 situation by changing to virtual meetings. 
 
We have attracted 3 new members, from the US, Portugal and Japan, so we have members living on other continents, and we have attracted international participants to our meetings. We have developed our cooperation and relationships with MIRC and CIRC, the International Rotary Clubs in the greater Copenhagen area. We are now an International Club for real! 
 
We have had a good balance between efficient structure and positive atmosphere at our meetings, and we have almost doubled the attendance during the virtual meetings. The virtual meetings have brought us closer, and we have inspired other Rotary clubs as well as our District 2390. 
 
We have generated a lot of good ideas, during this year, on how to generate more funds for our projects. I have used my inclusive, supportive, leadership style to serve our club in a sustainable way. And I'm looking forward to be Past President and support Christian going forward, when he will be standing at the helm. //Annika 

As your Incoming President, I would like to remind you that the Presidential Handover is normally a portentous occasion. Please do not assume it is less important this time. I look forward to seeing many of you on location on June 23, it will also be possible to participate remotely via the Teams link below. 
I look forward to sharing my gratitude for the way Annika and her team has brought our Club forward and introducing my team and some of my ideas for the future with you. // Christian. 
 
 
Take care, stay healthy so we 
can all see each other after summer break.
