Rotary and Rotaract Club Morimondo Abbazia - Handover in the name of "United to do good"
On Friday, June 27, in the beautiful setting of Morimondo, the traditional ceremony of Handover of the Morimondo Abbey Rotary Club and the Morimondo Abbey Rotaract. An expected appointment that has been able to combine emotion, recognition and a confident look towards the future.
The evening opened with the reading of a letter sent by the Rotary Club Bethlehem, with which the Morimondian club is working on an important international cooperation project in the city of Bethlehem. This is an initiative that will develop over a two-year mandate, born under the presidency of Davide Carnevali and destined to continue and be realized in the new Rotary year. The letter gave an insight into how they are experiencing this moment of geopolitical tension in the Holy Land and the West Bank.
The event marked the conclusion of the president's Rotary year Carnivals, who wanted to close his mandate with a particularly significant gesture: thanked each member individually with a personalized message on a glass crystal, recognizing the commitment and unique value of each one.
During the evening, the handover of Rotaract, with Marco Santangostino passing the baton to Carlotta Varchi, leading a group of motivated young people who are increasingly involved in the life of the club and the community.
The Morimondo Abbazia Rotary Club also welcomed 3 new very young members (Diana, Manuela and Matteo), coming from the Rotaract path, confirming the importance of generational change and the growth of new service leaders. At the same time, Rotaract celebrated 4 new entries (Elisa, Gaia, Edoardo, Roberto), testimony to the vitality and attractiveness of the movement for the new generations.
The moment of the assignment of is particularly significant 6 Paul Harris Fellows, a prestigious Rotary recognition that rewards the commitment, generosity and spirit of service of members and personalities who have distinguished themselves for their contribution to the community and Rotarian values.
Among the many emotional moments, the evening also saw the farewell to Leah, young guest of the program Rotary Youth Exchange, leaving for the United States.
The ceremony closed with the official passing of the collar to the new president Martina Forti, who will lead the club in the year 2025-26 under the motto “United in doing good”: a clear commitment to continue in the implementation of service projects, in nurturing relationships and in promoting Rotarian values in the area.
Furthermore, it was announced that the outgoing president, Davide Carnevali, is preparing to take on a new role in the Rotary service: he will be Assistant to the Governor of District 2050 for the Sforzesco Group, taking over from Virginio Tagliabue at the end of his three-year mandate. An acknowledgment of Davide's dedication and a further opportunity to contribute to the growth and collaboration between local Rotary Clubs.
The Morimondo Abbazia Rotary Club thus confirms itself as a lively and dynamic reality, ready to take on new challenges and continue to "do good in the world" with passion, competence and a spirit of friendship.
