On Saturday, 24 June, the meeting and dinner of the Rotary Club of Lagos was held at the Campi Turismo hall for the handover that takes place annually at the end of each Rotary year.
During the evening, the new president presents their board of directors and vision for the new Rotary year. The evening was a great success giving everyone present the opportunity to congratulate the outgoing president Martiniano Fernandes for all his work and achievements while welcoming the incoming president Marie-Douce Marmouset.
Martiniano Fernandes emphasised how the Rotary exists to improve lives. The Algarve Rotary had more than demonstrated this in 2023 with the delivery of the Laparoscopy Tower to the CHUA Hospital in Portimão on 27 January. This equipment is of vital importance for the hospital’s surgical centre, opening up a new opportunity for less evasive surgery.
Marie-Douce Marmouset showed herself to be very motivated. Her vision for the year ahead will follow the international Rotary theme for 2023/2024, which is: “Create hope in the world” and create lasting change for a better world.
