As she puts it: “together, we will amplify our impact and create a ripple effect of hope that will extend far beyond our club's boundaries”.
In her views on the day’s event, she remarked that “as we gather for our inaugural Rotary fellowship, we are transported into a world of enchantment and a romantic embrace of service to humanity as we celebrate "A Night of Blues” and according to her, "this captivating theme holds deep symbolism, representing significant aspects that resonate with the spirit of our club and the journey that lies ahead”
