On Wednesday August 17, Rotary Suriname had the first joint meeting of the year 2022/2023 in the Staatsolie Conference Room.
The Rotary Club of Paramaribo Residence led by President Agnes Moensi hosted this very successful meeting.
Upon entering, the guests were welcomed with a welcome drink.
After the walk-in, the official part of the evening started.
The guest speaker of the evening, Mr Roy Rijger, tax lawyer, managed to captivate the fellows present with his interesting presentation on the current topic, 'the introduction of VAT in Suriname'.
For the girls and women empowerment project (one of the focus areas) RCPR has introduced their “I-Syi” project. A 'catwalk' was held during which various models of I-Syi bags were shown.
This joint meeting was also the moment to introduce and get to know all the new fellows of the 4 Rotary clubs. New fellows from all 4 clubs were placed 'on the spot'.
This successful evening was musically framed by the tones of tabla and keyboard music and concluded with a raffle, a snack box, delicious drinks and of course sufficient fellowship.
