Consequently, she charged members of the club to “embark on this extraordinary journey of service, knowing that their collective efforts will bring joy, alleviate suffering, and inspire countless lives” adding that “as we join hands in fellowship today, let us ignite the fire of hope within us, for it is through hope that we will forge a path towards a brighter tomorrow but let us always remember that the hope we seek to create starts with us, as members of this incredible club”.

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”
